Resumentroduction: In Benin colon cancer is the 3rd most common cancer in men after that of the prostate and liver and the 5th in women. The latest work on colon cancer in Benin goes back more than 10 years. It is therefore a question of updating information on colon cancer in Benin by describing them in their epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Method: This is a retrospective study of colon cancers diagnosed in the Visceral Surgery department of the CNHU-HKM in Cotonou over a period of 7 years. Result: Cancers of the left colon with a predilection for the sigmoid colon are the most diagnosed in Benin. It is a pathology of the relatively young subject living in an urban environment. The main histological form is lieberkuhnian adenocarcinoma. 76% of these cancers are received at the stage of complications. Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment but is often palliative in our context of late consultation. Nevertheless, hospital mortality remains low and survival at 04 years is 60%.
