    Midline cleft of the lower lip is defined as a midline vertical cleft of the soft tissue of the lower lip. It may present with a midline cleft of the mandible. It may also be accompanied by other congenital anomalies such as a cleft tongue, ankyloglossia, a heart lesion, and absence of the hyoid bone. The etiologic cause is thought to be a failure of mesodermal penetration into the midline structures of the first branchial arch. This case report is on a female child who presented with an incomplete midline cleft of the soft tissue of the lower lip. It was surgically corrected with a vertical wedge excision and primary closure.

    Primary tumours of the liver are uncommon in childhood. Of these, more than two-thirds are malignant. As such, benign hepatic tumours are often not considered in the differential diagnosis of a hepatic mass in childhood. We report a case of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma, a rare benign tumour, in a 10-month-old infant. This tumour is characterised by an admixture of ductal structures within a copious loose connective tissue stroma. Only approximately 160 cases had been reported in the literature. Awareness of the ultrasound (U/S) and computed tomography (CT) features, although not diagnostic, is helpful in distinguishing it from the more common malignant tumours. A correct preoperative diagnosis is important as surgical excision is often curative.
