The authors conducted a retrospective study over a period of 18 years based on registries and clinical data of patients admitted to the Urology department of Yaoundé Central Hospital. A total of 2,371 urogenital tumours were identified, corresponding to 520 prostatic adenocarcinomas, 1,066 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, 41 testicular tumours (9 seminomatous tumours, 7 non-seminomatous tumours, 18 lymphomas, 4 benign papillomas and 2 rhabdomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord), 169 bladder tumours (25 transitional cell carcinomas, 70 squamous cell carcinomas, 67 adenocarcinomas, 2 lymphomas, 1 sarcoma and 1 benign papilloma), and 136 kidney tumours (20 Wilms tumours, 87 renal cell carcinomas, 6 transitional cell carcinomas, 16 lymphomas, 2 other malignant tumours and 5 adenomas). This survey also revealed 192 epididymal tumours, essentially cysts, 8 squamous cell carcinomas of the penis and 3 adenocarcinomas of the female urethra.
