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 .3% per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Age
The median age at presentation is 21 years.
