    This study analyzed 127 cases of esophageal carcinoma diagnosed between 2013-2016 at a clinic in Mogadishu, Somalia. It found that 54.3% of cases were in females, with a male to female ratio of 1:1.2. The most common age group was between 50-60 years old, with a mean age of 57 years for both sexes. The most frequent histopathological type was squamous cell carcinoma, making up 97.6% of cases and being more common in females. The second most common type was adenocarcinoma, seen in 2.4% of cases and only among males.

    Abstract:
    Background: Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most serious cancers worldwide and
    the majority carcinoma of the esophagus cases occur in developing world. There is a
    marked variation in incidence, types, ethnicity, gender and outcome in various regions
    in the world. Esophageal carcinoma is the eighth most common cause of cancer death
    worldwide with its rapid development and fatal prognoses in most cases. Most of
    esophageal carcinoma types are either Squamous cell carcinoma or Adenocarcinoma.
    Squamous cell carcinoma is the main variant in developing countries whereas
    Adenocarcinoma appears more common in developed countries. Males predominate
    than females in worldwide. There is no previous study was conducted in Somalia
    according to the prevalence and incidence of esophageal carcinoma. Therefore the aim of
    this study was to document the characteristics of esophageal carcinoma with respect to
    the age and gender distribution and histopathologcial types in Mogadishu, Somalia.
    The study provides baseline local data for future studies. Methods: This retrospective
    study included all patients referred from endoscopic unit of surrounding clinics and
    hospitals with endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal carcinoma between January 2013
    and December 2016 to the department of pathology, Liban Clinic in Mogadishu,
    Somalia. Data were collected and analyzed from patients’ case records included age,
    gender and histological reports of all histologically confirmed cases of esophageal
    carcinoma.
    Results: A total of 1607 patients was admitted and referred to Liban Clinic during
    January 2013 to December 2016. 129 out of 1607 patients (8%) were diagnosed
    esophageal carcinoma. In this study was analyzed 127 cases out of 129 patients; Sixty
    nine out of 127 patients (54.3%) were females predominating males with their ratio
    male to female was 1:1.2. The commonest age group were fifth and sixth decades while
    the mean age of both sexes was 57 ± 15.479 (min 15 – max 90) with mean age of female
    being 58 ±15.441 (min 26 – mix 90) and male age 58 ±15.15.657 (min 15 – mix 84) with
    their youngest age was 15 and oldest age was 90 years. The most common
    Histopathological type of esophageal carcinoma in this study was Squamous cell
    carcinoma with 124 out of 127 (97.6%) (females 55.6%, male 44.3%) and 3 out of 127
    (2.4%) were Adenocarcinoma (females 0%, male 100%). The peak incidence of
    Squamous cell carcinoma was found in the age group 41 -80 years with 98 of 124 (79 %)
    while the minimum age group was below 40 years with18 of 124 (14.5%) and above 80
    years with 8 of 124 (6.4%) for both sexes. The maximum number of patients with
    adenocaricoma age groups of 41 – 80 years for males. Conclusion: The Esophageal
    carcinoma in Mogadishu, Somalia had predominance of female gender then the men
    with ratio (male: female ratio =1:1.2). The most frequent type of esophageal carcinoma
    is Squamous cell carcinoma and more frequent in females then the men and it is
    followed by Adenocarcinoma which more frequent in males than the females in this
    study, so we needed more studies in this disease in terms of prevalence and incidence
    and to identify the local risk factors and the reason for apparent gander.

    Key words: Esophageal carcinoma, Histopathological Types, Female, Mogadishu, Somalia.
