Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Non-ossifying Fibroma

Prevalence

The prevalence of non-ossifying fibroma is estimated to be 30-40 % of all normal children.

Incidence

Age

Non-ossifying fibromas are the most common fibrous bony lesions in children and adolescents, with a peak incidence at 10-15 years old. Non-ossifying fibromas are not seen beyond the age of 30 years, as they spontaneously heal.

Gender

Males are more commonly affected with non-ossifying fibromas than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.

Race

Desmoplastic Fibroma

Incidence

The incidence of fibroma is approximately 0.3%.

Age

The median age at presentation is 21 years.

Gender

Desmoplastic fibromas affects men and women equally.

Ovarian Fibroma

Age

Patients of all age groups may develop ovarian fibroma. However, they are most frequently seen in middle-aged women.

Ossifying Fibroma

Age

Ossifying fibromas most frequently occur in young children (less than 10 years of age).

Chondromyxoid Fibroma

Gender

Chondromyxoid fibromas affects men and women equally.

Age

Patients of all age groups may develop chondromyxoid fibroma. However, they are most frequently seen in second and third decades. Approximately 75% of cases occur before the age of 30 years.
