Aim: The objective is to describe the age and gender distribution, pattern of presentation, sites of colorectal cancers and the histological types of colorectal cancers seen over a 5 year period in a tertiary health institution (Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria). Design: A collected data of 104 patients with colorectal cancer from 2006 to 2011 formed the basis of this study. Results: Sixty-five were males and thirty-nine female out of 104 colorectal cases. Age range was between 19 and 78 years. The male female ratio was 1.3:1. 28.8% (30) of the patients presented with stage IV, 46.1 (48) presented with stage III, and 24% (25) presented with stage II. The commonest histological type was adenocarcinoma (84.2%), 46.4% of which were well differentiated. 14.3% had no grade stated. The most common clinical features were suggestive of intestinal obstruction (vomiting & abdominal pain). Conclusion: Most patients in our study presented with late stage disease and this trend especially in this part of the world frequently result in high morbidity and mortality. Policies that promote Public Health education, screening programme which will lead to early diagnosis affordable and effective treatment should be considered.
