ABSTRACT: Aim: Our goal was to determine the histological profile of ENT lesions. Method: We carried out a retrospective and descriptive study in the ENT department and Cervico-Facial Surgery at the university hospital center Gabriel Touré (MALI) from 1995 to 2014. It made it possible to collect 450 cases. Result: We found a male predominance; 51.11% or a sex ratio of 1.04. The mean age of patients was 38.04 years with a standard deviation of 19.49 years and extremes of 3 months and 91 years. Benign tumors were the most frequent (154 cases or 34.22%) including 75 cases of adenomas and 43 cases of papillomas. Cancers accounted for 48.11% (or 153 cases) of all tumors and 34% of lesions. Carcinomas accounted for 81.04%, malignant lymphomas 13.72% and sarcomas 5.22% of cases. Among the 140 cases (31.11%) of inflammatory pseudotumors, we found 12 cases of tuberculosis and 15 cases of rhinoscleroma. Three (3) cases of dysplasia were observed. Conclusion: Interest should be focused on histology in order to initiate appropriate therapy.
