Tip of nose is most prominent part of the face. It has an aesthetic
importance as well as influence on the psyche of children. Midline congenital
lesions like dermoid cyst and haemangioma confined to the tip of nose are rare.
Being midline structure of body congenital condition like dermoid cyst occurs
due to the sequestration of the skin along the lines of embryonic closure.
Haemangioma is another common congenital lesion of face in childhood. But
haemangioma confined only to tip of nose is uncommon. We present these two uncommon
congenital lesions of tip of nose.
