AB Maxillofacial surgery is a new medical discipline in Ethiopia. Between
May 1991 and December 1992, 108 patients with maxillofacial tumours were
treated in our Department. These cases are analysed according to their
age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological classification of benign
and malignant tumours. More males (5.5:1) had malignant tumours than
females. The age distribution of malignant tumours showed that most
patients were under the age of 51. Histological classification of benign
tumours revealed that fibromas and haemangiomas are common (7 cases
each) and lymphoma, osteoma and Warthin's tumour are rare (1 case each).
Almost all patients with giant cell tumour-like changes were female (11
out of 13). Two patients with Kaposi's sarcoma and 3 patients with
non-specific lymphadenopathy of the neck and retroauricular lymph nodes
have been proved to be HIV/AIDS infected.
