Jm. Wakiaga et al., CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF JAW TUMORS AND TUMOR-LIKE CONDITIONS AT THE KENYATTA-NATIONAL-HOSPITAL, East African medical journal, 74(2), 1997, pp. 65-68
This paper presents an analysis of 568 jaw tumours and tumour-like con
ditions seen at the Kenyatta National Hospital over a period of fiftee
n gears. For descriptive purposes, the term tumour is used here in its
wider context to cover both neoplastic and dysplastic jaw lesions whi
ch present primarily as jaw swellings, The study reveals a pattern con
sistent with other African series and suggests a more aggressive progr
ession and younger age at onset than elsewhere.
