A 14-year-old man presented with 1-month history of swelling on the inner aspect of his lower lip. The swelling was painless; however, it disturbed his speech. There was no contact bleeding but had a positive history of habitual lip biting. Examination showed a single 0.5 × 1 cm2 soft oval-shaped swelling with well-circumscribed margin (Figures 1 and 2). On palpation, the mass was non-tender and had a cystic or fluctuant sensation.
