The congenital upper lip sinuses are rare and they have previously been reported only in 40 cases. We have presented a case report of congenital midline upper lip sinus in an elderly age. Although the treatment modality is very easy and successful in any cases, the etiology of this rare congenital situation has been obscure and further studies should be done to find out.
Intraosseous hemangiomas are benign lesions, occurring often in vertebra and skull. These lesions can present in the head and neck region being the next most common site with a predominance of mandible. There are approximately seventy intraosseous hemangiomas of mandible in literature reported to date. We present an intraosseous hemangioma of the symphysis mandible. We performed a block resection of the mass preserving the mandibular integrity with no complications. There were no recurrences in the follow-up period of 24 months.
