Congenital double lip
Congenital double lip is a condition where the mucous membrane of the upper or lower lip, or both, is abnormally structured compared to a normal person. The affected lip(s) appear thicker, and a depression gradually forms in the middle of the thickened lip, making it seem as if there are two layers superimposed. Congenital double lip is rare clinically and is more commonly observed in the upper lip.

A cavernous lymphangioma is a tumor formed by the proliferation of malformed lymphatic vessels, representing a congenital developmental anomaly. This condition is common in children. The main symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor. If it occurs in the head, neck, and oropharynx, dysphagia may occur. If it occurs in the limbs, skin changes may result.

Cavernous hemangioma, also known as cavernous malformation, refers to a sponge-like abnormal vascular mass composed of numerous thin-walled blood vessels. These malformed vessels are closely apposed, with little or no brain parenchyma between them. It is not a true tumor but is histologically classified as a cerebral vascular malformation, accounting for 5% to 13% of central nervous system vascular malformations.
Accessory auricle
Accessory auricle, also known as preauricular tag or ear tag, is a congenital malformation. It refers to the abnormal development of the first and second branchial arches during the embryonic period, resulting in skin-colored skin tags protruding in front of the tragus or on the cheek or neck, in addition to the normal auricle. These tags vary in size, number, and morphology, may contain palpable cartilage, and are often accompanied by other maxillofacial deformities.
View detailsEar hemangioma
Hemangioma is a proliferative disease of vascular endothelial cells, encompassing benign tumors, borderline tumors, and malignant tumors. Hemangiomas occurring in the ear are referred to as ear hemangiomas. Most ear hemangiomas are benign tumors, varying in size from small localized lesions to extensive hemangiomas involving the entire auricle, appearing purplish-red on the external ear.
View detailsMicrotia
Microtia, also known as congenital microtia or congenital external and middle ear malformation, refers to the incomplete development and growth of auricular tissue during the embryonic period, resulting in auricular malformation at birth. It manifests as a small auricle, auricular deformity, or absence of the auricle, and may be accompanied by hearing loss.
View detailsCongenital preauricular fistula
Congenital preauricular fistula refers to a small hole located above the ear and at the junction with the face. Most cases are unilateral, but some are bilateral. It is a congenital ear developmental anomaly primarily caused by genetic factors. Normally, there are no symptoms, only a small depression on the skin near the external ear. When squeezed, a small amount of white or yellow discharge may exude. After infection, symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and abscess formation may occur.
