One hundred patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were admitted to the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria between 1960 and 1975. Their cases have been analyzed with respect to clinical findings, histological classification, and response to therapy. There was a preponderance of males over females (2:1) and the majority of the patients (87 percent) had reticulum cell sarcoma. Therapy consisted mainly of single-agent chemotherapy but a few patients had either surgical excision combined with chemotherapy or multiple-agent chemotherapy. The results of treatment were poor because of the very high default rate, late presentation, inadequate supply of drugs, and lack of radiotherapeutic facilities.
1960年至1975年间，100例非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者被收治于尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院。对他们的病例进行了临床检查结果、组织学分类及治疗反应方面的分析。男性患者多于女性患者（比例为2:1），大多数患者（87%）患有网状细胞肉瘤。治疗主要采用单药化疗，但少数患者接受了手术切除联合化疗或多药化疗。由于极高的违约率、就诊延迟、药物供应不足以及缺乏放疗设施，治疗效果不佳。
