“…The universal indicator for a renal biopsy from our record is intraabdominal mass 69/69(100%). This report agrees with the documented study in Jos, Nigeria [17] showing 53/53(100%) occurrences. Carefully followed indicators are nephrotic syndrome and weight loss.…”

“…Our study agrees with the kidney cancer incidence statistics [23] by which all eleven cases of NBT in this study occurs in the age range of 0-10 years. It further confirmed that most common kidney tumors in childhood are Wilm's tumor or NBT [12,17]. Wilm's tumors also occur in adults; it is the third most common organ cancer in children younger than the age of 10years mostly between the ages of 2-5year old [12,17].…”

“…These tumors are derivative of the renal tubular epithelium and hence they are located primarily in the cortex. The report has it that the risk of developing these tumors is higher in smokers, hypertensive and obese individuals [17], and those with occupational exposure to cadmium [12,16,20]. Smokers who are exposed to cadmium have an exceptionally high incidence of RCC [22].…”

Malignant renal tumour is a relatively rare type of cancer that occurs third in urological tumours after prostate and bladder cancers. It is among the leading cancers in western societies and is male predominant, aged (16-80) years with a peak incidence in the 5th and 6th spans of life (45-60 years) than in females. There are limited studies in the literature reporting its existence in South-southern, Nigeria. A little knowledge of its existence is known in Benin City, which propelled this study. The aims of this study were to determine the occurrence and histopathology patterns of malignant renal tumours including the histologic subtypes in a multi-national study centre. This is a 25-year retrospective study spanning from 1991 to 2016; in which the report of 19,123 haematoxylin and eosin stained sections were reviewed. Patient's data (age, sex and ethnicity) were also retrieved from the archives of the histopathology laboratory of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City, Nigeria and were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. The result revealed that 69 samples were reconfirmed as renal tumours and a preponderance of males (66.7%) was observed. Renal cell carcinoma 35/53(66.0%) has the highest occurrence of malignant renal tumours, and nephroblastoma (20.8%), which is closely followed by transitional cell carcinoma (13.2%). This study, therefore, concludes that malignant renal tumour is male predominant while renal cell carcinoma has the highest occurrence in Benin City, Nigeria. However, a significant finding is the report of papillary renal cell carcinoma and clear cell carcinomas, which appeared to be more common in Nigeria than granular cell carcinomas and clear cell type that are predominant in North America.

“…Data from the pre-PSA era comprised various prospective and retrospective hospital-based records of prostate cancer across the geopolitical zones, except for the inaccessible figures from the North-East (NE), arranged according to age and incidence (Table 2). Representative data obtained from countrywide registries revealed that approximately 98% of the prostate cancer cases were adenocarcinoma 23,29,30,50. Nonetheless, two patients (1.4% and 1.1%) presented with squamous cell carcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma in the South-South (SS) and South-West (SW), respectively 29,43.…”

BackgroundTo date there has not been any nationwide age-standardized incidence data reported for prostate cancer in Nigeria. We examined and integrated diverse trends in the age-specific incidence of prostate cancer into a comprehensive trend for Nigeria, and examined how best the existing data could generate a countrywide age-standardized incidence rate for the disease.MethodsData were obtained from studies undertaken between 1970 and 2007 in referral hospital-based cancer registries. Records from at least one tertiary hospital in each of the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria were examined retrospectively. Data were also reported for the rural population in cross-sectional prospective studies. Age-standardized incidence rates and the annual incidence of disease were calculated.ResultsHigher incidence rates for prostate cancer during this period were recorded for patients aged 60–69 years and 70–79 years, with a lower incidence rate for patients aged younger than 50 years. An exponential annual incidence rate of disease was observed in the 50–79 year age group and peaked at 70–79 years before dropping again at age 80 years. The results showed metastasis in more than half of these hospital-based prostate tumors.ConclusionOur results suggest that prostate cancer occurs at a relatively young age in Nigerians and that hospital-based registry reports may not appropriately reflect the incidence of the disease in Nigeria. A countrywide screening program is urgently needed. Finally, the difference in reported stages of disease found in Nigerians and African-Americans versus Caucasians suggests biological differences in the prognosis. Nigeria may thus typify one of the ancestral populations that harbor inherited genes predisposing African-Americans to high-risk prostate cancer.

Introduction: Malignant renal tumours (MRTs) pose significant morbidity and mortality. In adults, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes about 90% of these tumours whereas in children, the majority are nephroblastomas. Males are generally more affected than females. Nuclear grade, tumour stage, size and histopathological subtype are prognostic factors. In our environment, patients with MRTs commonly present late. Methods: Clinical and demographic details of patients who had malignant tumours diagnosed on renal biopsy tissue between 2002 and 2013 at the
