Lip pits are rare congenital anomalies that are recorded on the upper lip, lower lip or the oral commissures. Recognition of this entity is important because of their association with other multiple anomalies. Proper evaluation and treatment of these associated abnormalities and genetic counseling is of utmost importance. Herewith, a rare case of isolated congenital lower lip pits is reported with a brief review of the literature.
