Unusual find of osteolytic lesion on skeleton from the Middle Bronze Age—Possible case of peritoneal abscess
During rescue archeological excavation in 2018, the skeletal remains of a young male with an unusually large and rare lytic focus in the right iliac fossa, dating to the Middle Bronze Age, were found at the Mikulov site (Czech Republic). The presented communication considers various diseases that could be the cause of this pathological condition (tuberculosis, syphilis, mycosis, parasitic diseases, tumors, peritoneal abscess). The examination met…
The possible manifestation of scurvy on skeletal remains dated to 3800–3700 BC
The presented report describes the skeletal remains of a young man with multiple pathological changes, dated to between 3800-3700 BC. The studied skeletal remains were subjected to classical anthropological analysis. The palaeopathological study was based on detailed macroscopic examination supplemented by histological and radiological examinations. In addition to the disorder of flat cranial bones, dental developmental defects, traces after peri…
A very rare case of possible actinomycosis of the mandible from the Middle Ages
Multiple occurrence of premature polyarticular osteoarthritis in an early medieval Bohemian cemetery (Prague, Czech Republic)
Tumors in the 18th and 19th centuries at Brno, Czech Republic
Symptoms signs of benign and malignant tumors were observed during paleopathological analysis of skeletal remains from the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. Approximately 1,200 skeletons were examined from two Modern era archaeology sites: the Malá Nová ulice (Little New Street) cemetery and the cemetery of the Nemocnice Milosrdných bratrí (Merciful Brothers' Hospital). Osteomas, usually located on the flat bones of the cranial vault, were the …
Paleopathological find of a sacral neurilemmoma from ancient Egypt
A large, smooth‐walled cavity molded from the pressure of a relatively hard, globular, and lobulated tissue mass was found inside the sacrum of the mature female, Imakhetkherresnet. She was the sister of the lector‐priest Iufaa, whose unmolested tomb dates to the late 26th Dynasty (prior to 625 BC). The origin of the lesion could be determined unambiguously by macroscopic, radiographic, and histological analysis. It was caused by a neurilemmoma (…
Palaeopathology of Iufaa and other persons found beside his shaft tomb at Abusir (Egypt)
Pathological changes of the lector priest Iufaa are compared with those revealed on the skeletons of his two relatives Imakhetkherresnet and Nekawer, and of an unrelated male Padihor. They were discovered in 2001 in the vicinity of Iufaa's monumental shaft tomb, dating from late 26th dynasty (before 525 BC). The complex was found unmolested by robbers. Congenital anomalies, osteoporosis, degenerative joint changes, post-traumatic changes and mayb…
Case of metastatic carcinoma from end of the 8th–Early 9th century Slovakia
The first case of metastatic carcinoma ever detected in Slovakia comes from a Slavonic cemetery at Borovce, in the district of Piešt'any, which is dated from the end of the 8th to the middle of the 12th century AD. The disease afflicted a 50–60‐year‐old male, buried in a grave from the older phase of inhumation (8th–early 9th century AD). A number of osteolytic metastases were found in all bones of the skull and postcranial skeleton except for th…
Case of a Malignant Tumour from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England
Two Unusual Benign Tumours in Skulls from the Ossuary at Křtiny (Czech Republic)
Among 554 skulls of adult individuals from the ossuary at Křtiny, Moravia (late thirteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuryAD), three (0.54 per cent) showed evidence of malignant tumours and two others (0.36 per cent) had changes suggestive of unusual benign tumours, which are described in the present article. The calvarium of a 20–25-year-old female has two osteoplastic overgrowths in the region of the left tuber parietale and in the left lateral p…
