In 42 months, 175 patients (171 women and 4 men) were followed for mammary tumor in the Department of Medicine and Cancerology of l'Hopital General of Brazzaville. Among them, 63 files were retained for the study, corresponding to women under the age of 30. The study of these cases enabled the authors to establish the relatively important frequency of large tumors (larger than 5 cm), and the similarity of the general aspects of the pathology of mammary tumors, as compared to european studies.
