“…In addition to being the most common benign neoplasm, it was also the most common benign neoplasm of epithelial origin, similar to the findings reported in most previous studies [1,6,7,9,12,13,14,15]. It was also more frequently found on the palate as seen in the reports by Dhanuthai et al [13] and El-Gehani et al [25]. …”
