Fibroma
is an uncommon benign tumor of oral cavity with usually the tongue, gingival,
and buccal mucosa being the most common sites, which often introduces as a
single asymptomatic skin-colored lesion with unknown clinical diagnostic
characteristics. The objectives of the present study were to search clinic pathological
aspects of fibroma diagnosed at different hospitals in Iraq and compare the
findings with epidemiological data from different governorates locations. Cases
of benign tumor in different sites of tongue and mouth region at different
governorates in Iraq 2010 and 2020 were introduced. Patient gender, age group,
sites, morphology and annual patients of the tumor were presented. Descriptive
statistical analysis of the data was performed using the frequencies of
demographic variables. Among the 159 patients of benign tumors in mouth and
tongue, there was comprised 81 patients with percentage (50.10%) of male and 78
patients with percentage (49.90%) of female and the male to female ratio was
1.04:1. The mean patient age was 45.44 years. Baghdad governorate preponderance
for the other governorates due to there were different hospitals widespread
exist. 2019 year is the highest value (34) patients as compared to the other
years. The most age group effected (52) patient in (40-60). In conclusion,
fibroma are the most frequent benign. Comparing the current data with previous studies
on fibroma, one can be observed that some demographic characteristics and the
predominance of fibroma vary in different geographic regions.
