Area of Science:

  • Paleopathology
  • Forensic Anthropology
  • Skeletal Biology

Background:

  • Investigating ancient diseases requires analysis of skeletal remains.
  • Facial lesions in historical populations are rare and challenging to diagnose.

Observation:

  • An expansile facial lesion was identified in skeletal remains over 600 years old.
  • The remains belonged to a female aged 22-25 years.

Findings:

  • Gross, radiographic, and histological examinations were performed.
  • A definitive diagnosis was not possible due to specimen age and condition.
  • Differential diagnoses were considered, with a probable diagnosis suggested.

Implications:

  • Highlights the diagnostic challenges in paleopathology.
