Results: 6509 patients referred to oral pathology department, which 1047 (16.1%) cases recorded as red and white lesions. The most prevalence red and white lesions were Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) and Lichen Planus respectively. The mean age of red lesions was 33.9 ± 17.9 year with a prevalence rate of 57.8% in women. The mean age of white lesions was 44.92 ± 13.09 with the most prevalence rate of 67% in women. The most prevalent red (18.5%) and white (31.8%) lesions were related to age ranges of 31-40 and 41-50 years old.
