Benign maxillofacial tumors are more common than malignant tumors. Primary or secondary malignant tumors are rare but very varied. In our country Mali, their discovery is always linked to the appearance of clinical signs such as swelling. If the definitive diagnosis is made by histological data, it is first assumed based on clinical and radiological information. The place of CT is fundamental in this diagnostic research and the aim of this work is to highlight its role. We will start from the description of TDM with its principle, its advantages, its disadvantages as well as the indications and also the description of the majority of the various benign and malignant maxillofacial tumors through 65 of the cases collected in our service in Bamako and review of the literature including 36 malignant tumors dominated by odontogenic cyst and 29 cases of malignant tumors with squamous cell carcinoma at the top.
