The aim of this study is to determine the sociodemographic characteristics, as well as the clinical, radiological, histopathological, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of benign non-odontogenic tumours (BNOTs) in the Chadian context. This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, conducted between 2023 and 2025 (3 years) in the Department of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Renaissance University Hospital in N’Djamena for specimen collection and data gathering, and at the Department of Pathological Anatomy and Cytology at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar for the histological analysis of surgical specimens. The study included patients presenting with a benign non-odontogenic tumour confirmed by histopathological examination and who had received treatment. The variables studied were sociodemographic, clinical, radiological, histopathological, therapeutic and prognostic. Benign non-odontogenic tumours accounted for 26% of all benign maxillomandibular tumours. The mean age was 36.32 ± 21.55 years, with a sex ratio of 1.5. The majority of patients resided in the province of N’Djamena (64%). The middle socio-economic class was affected in 64% of cases. Painless swelling was the predominant symptom (100%). The maxilla was affected in 44% of cases. Mixed forms accounted for 40% of the lesions observed based on radiographic characteristics. Surgical excision of the tumour mass was performed in 56% of patients. Ossifying fibroma was the most common histological type (20%). The outcome was favourable in 92% of cases. One case of death and one case of oro-sinus communication were recorded. The mean follow-up period was 8 ± 5 months. The correlation between clinical and radiological characteristics and histological findings was statistically significant (p=0). This study shows that benign non-odontogenic tumours are relatively common. They are diverse and varied. The diagnostic approach requires a correlation be
