title: [Malignant solid tumours in Brazzaville children: epidemiological and anatomo-pathological aspects].
abstract: In this retrospective study over six years the authors report 65 malignant solid tumours of the children under the age of 15 years old. The average age was 7.9 years with a peak of frequency between 5 and 9 years. There was a male prevalence with a sex-ratio of 1.3. The most frequent histological types were: lymphoma of Burkitt (52%), retinoblastoma (20%), nephroblastoma (9%) and malignant tumours of the soft tissues (6%). The malignant solid tumours of the child are relatively rare and histologically very diversified.
