Abstract EN

Lateral proboscis is a rare congenital anomaly.

Lateral proboscis is a rare craniofacial malformation characterized by a rudimentary tubular, nose-like structure occurring in association with a wide spectrum of other anomalies.

We presented a seven-month-old girl’s lateral proboscis, cleft lip, and palate.

Proboscis was excised by an elliptical incision, and the cleft was repaired at the same surgery.
