摘 要：At the same smoking level, women have a higher risk of lung cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate epidemiological, clinical and histological profile of women＇s lung cancer. A retrospective study including women patients with a confirmed lung cancer followed at the Pneumology Department of University Hospital Center Mohammed VI of Marrakesh in Morocco between January 2010 and December 2014. 14 cases were included in the study. The average age of patients was 54.2 years. Active smoking was noted in 2 patients （14.4%）. The chest X-ray showed an atelectasis in 6 cases （42.8%）, hilar opacity in 6 cases （42.8%） and alveolar opacity in 2 cases （14.4%）, pleural effusion was present in 3 cases （21.4%）. Histological confirmation was obtained in 10 cases （71.4%） by bronchial biopsy, 2 cases with pleural biopsy （14.4%）, one case （7.1%） by lymph node biopsy and one case trans-parietal biopsy （7.1%）. An adenocarcinoma was found in 9 cases （64.3%）, squamous cell carcinoma in 4 cases （28.6%） and small cell carcinoma in one case （7.14%）. The study shows that the lung cancer in women in our context occurs more often in non-smoker patients and it＇s usually an adenocarcinoma type.
