The results were as follows. 1) The tumors were classified as hemangioma (28.2%), pleomorphic adenoma (24.4%), fibroma (17.9%) and papilloma (14.1%). The remaining 15.4% consisted of 3 cases of lipoma, 3 of adenolymphoma, and other rare cases. 2) Of the 78 cases, 28 were in males and 50 in females (sex ratio) (1:1.8). 3) The patient ages at the first visit ranged from 5 to 80 years (mean age) (47.9 years). 4) Approximately three quarters (75%) had swelling as the chief complaints. 5) The primary sites was 22 cases (28.2%) in the tongue, 15 (19.2%) in the palate, and 12 (15.4%) in the lip. Hemangiomas and pleomorphic adenomas are more common in the tongue or lip and in the palate respectively. 6) The average long diameter of pleomorphic adenomas and papillomas were 32.9mm and 7.1mm respectively.
