134 cases of paediatric tumours of the jaws in Nigerian children are reviewed. Non-odontogenic tumours and tumours of mesenchymal origin were the commonest. Among malignant disease cases, Burkitt's lymphoma predominated. Late presentation for treatment and gross disfigurement were typical clinical findings. Most of the non-Burkitt malignant lesions had grown to inoperable proportions and the few that were amenable to aggressive surgery responded poorly to treatment.
对134例尼日利亚儿童颌骨肿瘤病例进行了回顾。非牙源性肿瘤和间充质起源的肿瘤最为常见。在恶性疾病病例中，伯基特淋巴瘤占主导地位。就诊延迟和严重毁容是典型的临床特征。大多数非伯基特恶性病变已发展到无法手术切除的程度，少数适合积极手术的病例对治疗反应不佳。
