Abstract
Five hundred malignant tumours, obtained from all parts of Nigeria, have been analysed as accurately as was possible from the information available. The results so obtained have been detailed, partly in the form of Tables and partly as a series of notes dealing with the morphological and regional distribution of the neoplasms. The melanotic sarcomas, the adamantinomas and the sarcoma of Kaposi are commented upon in some detail. Due regard has been paid throughout to age incidence and to sex.
