Abstract

There have been about 60 cases of supernumerary nostril reported. We encountered a 38 weeker, male child with supernumerary nostril and midline congenital nevus which was later locally excised. The uniqueness of our case is the presence of an entirely well-formed nostril perched on top on the normal nose.
