We retrospectively retrieved information on eBL cases from reports of the three main hospitals of Mozambique: Maputo Central Hospital (MCH), Beira Central Hospital (BCH), and Nampula Central Hospital (NCH) between 2004 and 2014. For 2015, we prospectively collected information of new eBL cases attending these hospitals. A total of 512 eBL cases were reported between 2004 and 2015: 153 eBL cases were reported in MCH, 195 in BCH, and 164 in NCH. Mean age of cases was 6.9 years (standard deviation = 2.8); 63% (319\/504) of cases were males. For 2015, the estimated incidence rate of eBL was 2.0, 1.7, and 3.9 per 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup> person-year at risk in MCH, BCH, and NCH, respectively. Incidence was higher in NCH (northern Mozambique), where intensity of malaria transmission is higher. Data presented show that eBL is a common pediatric malignancy in Mozambique, as observed in neighboring countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,1]],"date-time":"2016-11-01T01:20:20Z","timestamp":1477963220000},"page":"1459-1462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Incidence
