Résumé

A partir des archives du Département d'Anatomie Pathologique des cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa, R.D. Congo, nous avons étudié le profil histologique et épidémiologique du cancer buccal au Congo. La fréquence relative du cancer buccal au Congo est de 2,1 %. Le palais est le site le plus atteint (28,8 %) et le carcinome spino-cellulaire est le type histologique le plus fréquent (57,6 %). Les personnes entre 50 et 59 ans (27 %) (Moyenne : 8,39 ± 15,43 ans) et le sexe féminin (M/F : 0,47/1) étaient les plus affectées.
