Gynaecological malignancies contribute to the global burden of diseases and are of public health interest. The objective of this study was to determine the pattern of distribution of gynaecological malignancies seen between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2006, at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. It was a retrospective descriptive study. A total of 166 cases of gynaecological malignancies were encountered, cervical cancer was the most common (59.6%). This was followed by ovarian cancer (21.1%), trophoblastic tumour (7.8%) and corpus uteri cancer (6.0%). Others included cancer of the vulva (3.6%) and cancer of the vagina (1.8%). Squamous cell carcinoma accounted for 96.0% of cervical cancers. Epithelial tumours represented 60.0% of ovarian cancers, and serous cyst adenocarcinoma was the most common histological variety. All the vulval and vaginal cancers were of squamous cell type. In conclusion, genital malignancies are common and cervical cancer remains the leading gynaecological malignancy in this centre.
妇科恶性肿瘤是全球疾病负担的一部分，具有公共卫生意义。本研究的目的是确定2002年1月1日至2006年12月31日期间在尼日利亚伊洛林大学教学医院所见妇科恶性肿瘤的分布模式。这是一项回顾性描述性研究。共遇到166例妇科恶性肿瘤病例，宫颈癌最为常见（59.6%）。其次是卵巢癌（21.1%）、滋养细胞肿瘤（7.8%）和子宫体癌（6.0%）。其他包括外阴癌（3.6%）和阴道癌（1.8%）。鳞状细胞癌占宫颈癌的96.0%。上皮性肿瘤占卵巢癌的60.0%，浆液性囊腺癌是最常见的组织学类型。所有外阴癌和阴道癌均为鳞状细胞型。总之，生殖器恶性肿瘤很常见，宫颈癌仍然是该中心主要的妇科恶性肿瘤。
