Abstract
Forty-five neoplastic surgical specimens from the alimentary tract were studied in Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, over a 5-year period (1983-1987). Rectal carcinomas were found to be the commonest alimentary tract tumours (28.9%). They are followed by carcinomas of the stomach (24.4%), colon (20.1%) and oesophagus (13.3%). Lymphomas constitute 6.7% while squamous cell carcinomas of the anus represent 2.2%.Entities:
