The incidence of urological malignancies is on the increase globally like most other malignant tumours. There is generally poor documentation of urological malignancies in Nigeria attested to by the paucity of literature on this subject matter. This study was carried out to document the pattern and distribution of urological malignancies seen at Federal Medical Centre, Gombe, North Eastern Nigeria.
This was a retrospective analysis of all pathologically proven urological malignancies seen at this centre from January 2000 to December 2007. All records of patients with the diagnosis of urological malignancies were retrieved from the histopathology registers, operation registers and patients' case notes. The patients' biodata including their ages, sex and tumour site were extracted and analysed.
A total of 118 cases of urological malignancies were recorded during the 8 years under review. Ninety-nine (83.9%) ocurred in males while the remaining 19 (16.1%) were in females giving a male: female ratio of 5:1. Children comprised of nine 9 (7.6%) and adults 109 (92.4%) of the population. The organ specific frequency of occurrence of the tumour in descending order comprised of prostate 63 (53.4%) bladder 33 (28.0%), kidney 17 (14.4%), testes 3 (2.5.%) penis 2 (1.7%) ureter and urethra (0%).
We concluded that prostate, urinary bladder and renal carcinomas are the three most common urological malignancies in North Eastern Nigeria.
与大多数其他恶性肿瘤一样，全球范围内泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤的发病率正在上升。尼日利亚泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤的记录普遍较差，这一主题的文献匮乏就证明了这一点。本研究旨在记录尼日利亚东北部贡贝联邦医疗中心所见泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤的模式和分布情况。
这是一项对2000年1月至2007年12月在该中心经病理证实的所有泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤进行的回顾性分析。从组织病理学登记册、手术登记册和患者病历中检索所有诊断为泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤患者的记录。提取并分析患者的生物数据，包括年龄、性别和肿瘤部位。
在审查的8年期间，共记录了118例泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤病例。其中99例（83.9%）发生在男性，其余19例（16.1%）发生在女性，男女比例为5:1。儿童占该人群的9例（7.6%），成人占109例（92.4%）。肿瘤按器官特异性发生频率从高到低依次为前列腺63例（53.4%）、膀胱33例（28.0%）、肾脏17例（14.4%）、睾丸3例（2.5%）、阴茎2例（1.7%）、输尿管和尿道（0%）。
我们得出结论，前列腺癌、膀胱癌和肾癌是尼日利亚东北部最常见的三种泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤。
