INTRODUCTION: The natural history of @entity263 varies among @entity1 . The aim of this study is to detect any variations in clinical and pathological characteristics of the @entity5 in @entity1 from different ethnic groups in Southern Nigeria. @entity1 AND METHODS: Consecutive @entity1 who presented with features of @entity4623 at the Urology Units of University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt and Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, were evaluated prospectively with history, physical examination, and relevant investigations using a proforma. Data obtained were collated and analyzed statistically using the Chi-square test and Microsoft Excel. RESULTS: Of 187 @entity1 studied, 169 were analyzed. Eighty-six were Ibos, 31 Ijaws, 25 Ikwerres, and 12 Ogonis. Two were from each Etche, Urhobo, Opobo, and Effik; 4 from Andoni, and 3 Ibibio. Fifty-seven (66.3%) Ibos presented with the disease at higher ages (70-80 years) than 19 (61.3%) Ijaws and 11 (91.7%) Ogonis. These age differences were statistically significant with 95% and 99.9% confidence, respectively. All cases were @entity420 . Clinical features, pattern of serum @entity1486 levels, grades of the @entity5 , @entity5 metastases, and complications were similar for all ethnic groups. Although more Ibos had @entity5 with relatively more aggressive metastatic features, there was no statistical significance. CONCLUSION: Clinical and pathological features of @entity263 in Ibos, Ikwerres, Ijaws, and Ogonis were found to be similar. However, Ibos presented with the disease at older ages than Ijaws and Ogonis.
