Tumeur maligne historique : 27 cas

“Historic” malignant tumour (also described in the literature as “giant” tumour) is a real-life fact. No studies have been made of a series of such patients. Despite histological diagnosis, the size was associated with slow tumoral progress and/or late treatment, chiefly accounted for by psychiatric disorders. Socio-professional data indicate that “historic” tumours are equally common in urban and rural areas.
