Lymphoma of the parotid gland among a Nigerian ethnic group

Abstract

Researchers based in Birmingham (UK) concluded that the establishment of a histopathology data pool enhances epidemiological analysis.5 Now, such a pool was established by the Government of the Eastern Region of Nigeria. Therefore, as the pioneer pathologist, who headed it, the author facilitated the collection of biopsy specimens, provided that they were accompanied by epidemiological data. Moreover, since individual reports were kept personally, analysis was promoted. Accordingly, it is deemed worthwhile to tabulate the findings.
