Summary:To study the epidemiological and histopathological characteristics of sarcomas. This was a multi-center, descriptive, retrospective study realized over a 10-year period. We systematically recruited all medical reports of patients with histologically confirmed sarcoma. 159 reports of sarcoma were retained. The average age was 38.9 years. There was a female predominance with a 0.9 estimated sex ratio. Soft tissue sarcomas were the most common (65.4%). The most frequent location was the lower limbs (30.2%). Better access to diagnosis would contribute to a better assessment of the burden of this pathology in Benin.
