A statistical survey of neoplasms collected from the files of surgical and autopsy specimens examined in the department of pathology during the 52 months preceeding August 1961, was made and the results compared with the previously reported data. The total number of specimens surveyed in this study was 7,978, among which benign neoplasms accounted for 480 cases and malignant neoplasms for 1,107. Carcinomas of the stomach and uterus occupied the highest frequency among the malignant tumors. The incidence of benign tumors of the uterus was significantly higher than that reported by others. A detailed analysis of the various data on benign and malignant tumors is listed in the tables.
