AB  - Most of localized overgrowths of oral mucosa are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. The purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopathological aspects (fibrous, vascular and giant cell types) of biopsies of oral localized lesions at Dental Faculty, Babol University of Medical Sciences. Documents and records of 107 patients with localized lesions of oral tissues diagnosed from 2004-2010 were reviewed. The lesions were classified into either fibrous or soft hemorrhagic lesions. Clinical data regarding age, gender, location and treatment of lesions were obtained for each case. A total of 107 surgical specimens of lesions of the oral cavity presented clinically were studied; 51 cases (47.7%) had fibrous lesions and 56 cases (52.3%) had soft hemorrhagic lesions. The majority of the lesions were located in the gingiva. It is helpful to know the frequency and presentation of the most common oral lesions in order to develop a clinical impression of such lesions met in practice. This study indicates there are some differences in age and gender distribution as well as in location between the different lesions.
