Double upper lip is an infrequent oral anomaly that may be acquired or congenital. It has no gender or  racial predilection. It is a deformity that interferes with speech and mastication. It may occur as an isolated case or in association with other lesions. Surgical intervention (simple excision) produces good functional and cosmetic results. In this article, we reported an unusual case of unilateral double lip in the upper lip of an 18-year-old female patient. An overview of the etiology, clinical presentation, histopathologic features and treatment are discussed.
Key words: Double lip, Ascher syndrome, Macrocheilitis.
