Developmental hamartomas are dysmorphic proliferation of native tissues which unlike neoplasms do not grow continuously and are mostly seen in infancy and childhood. Hamartoma of neurovascular origin can present itself as upper lip malformation. These lesions sometimes regress spontaneously while some require surgical intervention. Here, we report a case of congenital neurovascular hamartoma with midline cleft of the upper lip, tongue tie, and lower lip pits in a 4-month-old baby, managed by surgical intervention.
