Abstract

In a wide ranging review of soil suitability in cancer metastasis, the author designated 12 classes of which one was cryptogenicity. This means secondary growth which manifests before the primary becomes recognized. Later, this phenomenon was expatiated on, the historical grounds being chosen. Therefore, since it has been advocated that the establishment of a histopathology data pool facilitates epidemiological analysis, this method is used here to explore cryptogenicity as regards femur cancer among the Ibo or Igbo ethnic group who are domiciled in the South-Eastern Region of Nigeria.
