    Area of Science:

    • Paleopathology
    • Human Osteology
    • Medical History

    Background:

    • A comprehensive literature review of 126 cases was conducted.
    • An additional personal series of 8 instances was analyzed.

    Observation:

    • The condition presents as a pathological lesion, distinct from anatomical variations.
    • It affects all races and latitudes, with an estimated prevalence of 0.4–0.5%.
    • The lesion predominantly occurs in females (sex ratio M:F = 1:2.5) and individuals over 60 years old.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination reveals erosion of the external bone table.
    • This erosion is compensated by remodeling of the diploë, leading to diploic loss.
    • The etiology is not explained by senility, chronic trauma, muscular traction, or inflammation.
