Neoplastic changes are rare compared with other affecting conditions, however, the oral cavity is one of the areas where tumors and tumor-like lesions most commonly develop and include both non-odontogenic and odontogenic lesions. Diseases affecting the oral mucosa are diverse and cover a broad spectrum of benign or malignant lesions. To make an accurate diagnosis, a clinician must take a comprehensive clinical history and have adequate information about the signs and symptoms, such as location, size, color, and morphology of the oral mucosal lesion. This review aims to describe the clinical, radiographic, microscopic, and treatment aspects of benign neoplasms that might affect the gingiva and alveolar mucosa.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBenign lesionsGingivaAlveolar mucosaArticle2525864
