Jf. Onyango et al., ORAL TUMORS AND TUMOR-LIKE CONDITIONS IN KENYA .1. HISTOLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION, East African medical journal, 72(9), 1995, pp. 560-563
A histological analysis of 3141 cases of oral tumours and tumour-like
lesions diagnosed at Kenyatta National Hospital between 1978 and 1992
has been carried out. Squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland tumours
and Iymphoid tumours form the majority of lesions. In general, the his
tological distribution of the oral tumours do not differ significantly
from those reported in non African series save for the Burkitt's lymp
homa.
