Abstract
The prevalence of Fordyce's granules in a group of 2,462 Israeli Jews was determined. Fordyce's granules were observed in 94.9% of the entire sample. The most common location was the vermilion border of the upper lip (82.2%), followed by the retromolar area (73.3%), the buccal mucosa (65.9%) and the vermilion border of the lower lip (29.2%). The granules were common in men. A significant difference in prevalence was found between the Ashkenazi group and each of the other two ethnic groups.Entities:
