The purpose of this work was to analyze the epidemiological aspects of member’s primary bone tumors of our center to improve the management and compare with international experience. We retrospectively analyzed the records of 128 patients treated for member’s bone tumors in orthopedic and trauma surgery department of Rabat teaching hospital from January 2010 to December 2015. We collected and analyzed data on age, sex, profession, ethni, anatomical seat and histology. Middle age was 35.48. There were 64 men and 64 women. 77% was a native in center of the kingdom of Morocco. 32.8 % was unemployed and 21% was student. Tumor interested femur in 39 patients and leg in 30. Of the 72 patients (56.3%) diagnosed with malignant tumors. There were 26.6% of giant-cell tumors, 14.1% of osteosarcoma, 12.5% of chondroma, 11.7 of osteochondroma, 9.4 of liposarcoma, 6.3 of chondrosarcoma, 4.7% of osteoid osteoma, 3.9 of lipoma and ewing sarcoma and 3.1% only of bone metastase. The age distribution showed a peak in young adults that comprised predominantly of malignant lesions. Malignant bone tumors most often involved the femur, leg, scapula, and the humerus. Our results parallel the findings previously reported in the world literature and show a similar distribution and epidemiology as in other underdeveloped and developed countries.
