| The dilated "pore" on the right upper lip had been present for at
least 2 years.

A 37 year old female presented complaining of a "hole in her face" (figure 1).
The lesion had been present for at least 2 years, but seemed more prominent in
the last year since an esthetician had tried unsuccessfully to extract it. She
stated that she had never experienced drainage, itching or pain with this
lesion. No progressive growth was described.
Examination revealed a small papule of the right side of the upper lip with a
small central opening resembling an enlarged pore. No other similar lesions
were noted.
An excision of the lesion was performed under local anesthesia and the
histologic findings are depicted in figure 2.
