The skeletal remains described in this paper are those of a possible early sufferer of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, a tumour-forming disorder that occurs quite commonly today. This case is the earliest described from archaeological remains. As such, it provides possible confirmation for the problematical literary documentation of the disorder's presence and allows direct appraisal of its skeletal manifestations
