Enlarged sella turcica in a male from 18th-century Cracow, Poland
Presentism in paleopathology, through the lens of male breast cancer
A differentially diagnosed simple bone cyst from a medieval Polish osteological collection
This case study describes and provides a differential diagnosis for a femoral lesion. Individual M81 was a young adult male from Milicz, a 12th-13th century cemetery, and a subsection of the osteological collection curated by the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław, Poland. The skeleton underwent standard anthropological analysis to estimate age-at-death and sex. The lesion was then evaluated through macroscopic and radiographic analyses, using…
Malignancy in three medieval Polish osteological collections
New insights into the manual activities of individuals from the Phaleron cemetery (Archaic Athens, Greece)
A palaeoepidemiological investigation of osteomata, with reference to medieval Poland
The osteoma, among other forms of benign neoplastic disease, has received little palaeopathological or palaeoepidemiological interest largely because of its asymptomatic nature. This is problematic because these tumours are regarded as common occurrences in bioarchaeological contexts, despite there being scant data to support these claims. This investigation presents a palaeoepidemiological enquiry into osteomata. Five hundred ninety individuals …
A Differential Diagnosis of Osteolytic Lesions in the Curated Skeletal Remains of a Tantalus Monkey (Chlorocebus tantalus)
In the veterinary and anthropological literature, the pathology of nonhuman primates is heavily focused on soft-tissue involvement and there is scant reference to nonhuman primates in zoopalaeopathology, the study of ancient and historical diseases in animals. We present the curated skeletal remains of a nonhuman primate present with osteolytic lesions consistent with a pathological process. We evaluated the observed pathological changes via an e…
In defence of the osteoma
Currently, research focus in palaeo-oncology is dominated by malignant neoplasms, and this focus has led to an academic apathy towards benign tumours. The lack of interest in benign tumours is mainly due to the notion that they are commonplace occurrences with little clinical value. As a result, knowledge and understanding of benign tumours are lacking, and this has become a hindrance to the overall understanding of neoplastic disease in bioarcha…
