%X Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) manifests itself by a respiratory attack that can go from mild to severe forms. The factors favoring the severe forms are age, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. We report 4 cases of COVID-19 on cancer, followed in the Department of Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology of National Teaching Hospital Center Hubert Kougougou Maga (NTHC-HKM). <strong>Case 1:</strong> A hypertensive 65-year-old female patient with a severe form of COVID-19 on an FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) IVB endometrioid adenocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis: unfavorable evolution under treatment with death. <strong>Case 2:</strong> A 56-year-old hypertensive patient with severe COVID-19 with pulmonary metastatic recurrence of SBRIII, HER2 positive invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast: favorable evolution with cure of COVID-19, subsequent death related to active tumor. <strong>Case 3:</strong> A 37-year-old patient with a moderate form of COVID-19 with hepatocellular carcinoma complicating post alcoholic cirrhosis, CHILD C: favorable evolution with cure of COVID-19, patient lost to follow-up. <strong>Case 4:</strong> A 56-year-old patient, hypertensive, type II diabetic, presenting a severe form of COVID-19 on a field of ovarian serous adenocarcinoma of high grade FIGO IV A with pleuropulmonary metastasis: favorable evolution with cure of COVID-19, subsequent stroke, patient followed in palliative home hospitalization. The diagnosis of COVID-19 in cancer with pulmonary metastases is difficult. The pulmonary location of tumors seems to be a factor favoring severe forms.
