All 31 patients exhibited lower lip capillary malformation (CM). Additionally, lymphatic malformations were observed in 25 cases, venous malformations in 17 cases, and varying degrees of tissue overgrowth in 10 patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Due to the extremely low incidence of this disease, the sample size is relatively small. Further studies are required to clarify its pathogenesis, therapeutic efficacy and genetic characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lower lip CM serves as a predominant manifestation of CLAPO syndrome. Clinicians should raise the suspicion of CLAPO syndrome in patients presenting with lower lip CM. Notably, enlarged venous vessels visible on the median raphe of the tongue may also be regarded as a clinical feature of CLAPO syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n
