“…It often results from abnormal proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes (Marques, 2019; Varotto et al, 2021). Osteochondroma tends to affect males rather than females (1.8:1 ratio), with an incidence peak at the age of 10–30 years (Marques, 2019; W. J. Wu & Liu, 2014). It most commonly occurs on the metaphysis of the long bones and pelvises, while the hand and foot bones can also be affected (Marques, 2019).…”

“…The lesion usually appears as a cartilage‐capped, bony outgrowth (although cartilage is difficult to preserve in archaeological settings). Nonetheless, the medullary continuity between the bony outgrowth and the affected bone can be observed (Kitsoulis et al, 2008; Marques, 2019). In M799, an area of massive bony outgrowth was found at the distal one third of the diaphysis of the left femur rather than the metaphysis; it was separated from the medullary cavity of the left femur by the cortex.…”

“…Chondrosarcoma mainly affects the metaphysis of the long bones, pelvises, and ribs (Marques, 2019). This condition causes osteolytic lesions with ill‐defined margins and cortical penetration (Arnay‐de‐la‐Rosa et al, 2015; Marques, 2019). Chondrosarcoma can be divided into different subtypes; periosteal chondrosarcoma has exogenous features among these types.…”

Discoveries of juvenile primary bone malignant neoplasm have been rare in archaeological settings. This study presents the first case as such from ancient China. An individual (M799) aged 14–17 years from the Dongxin cemetery of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386–534 CE), Datong, Shanxi Province, was found with signs of the bone malignant neoplasm. The skeleton of the juvenile was macroscopically examined with the aid of computed tomography imaging. Results demonstrated that a bony outgrowth was found on the distal one third of the diaphysis of the left femur; both osteoblastic and osteolytic processes were present on the lesion (about 148 mm long), and the highly dense and lobulated exophytic mass protruded about 50 mm from the posterior aspect of the diaphysis. A periosteal new bone reaction was found on the adjacent cortex while the medullary cavity was invaded by the lesion. Osteosarcoma was considered the most likely diagnosis, with differential diagnoses of Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Otherwise, the disease had no asymmetric effect on femoral length. This rare case enriches our knowledge on the paleoepidemiological patterns of osteosarcoma and other malignant neoplasms from the past.

“…It should be also noted that there are many neoplasms that do not form soft tissue tumours, such as leukaemia. By contrast, there are also tumours and tumour‐like lesions that are often included in clinical and palaeopathological surveys, such as giant cell tumours and simple bone cysts (Greenspan et al, 2007; Marques, 2019).…”

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 from six skeletal assemblages from Poland, dating from the 9th to 17th century, were macroscopically surveyed for osteomata. This was followed by a palaeoepidemiological analysis, looking at sex‐ and age‐specific prevalence. Ninety‐three osteomata were observed in 67 individuals. The sex‐specific prevalence was 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.7–18.1) for males and 11.6% (95% CI 7.9–16.2) for females. The age‐specific prevalence for middle adults was 2.1% (95% CI: 0.6–5.2) and 5.3% (95% CI: 2.5–9.8) for mature adults. The results indicated the prevalence of benign tumours was similar between males and females and seemed to increase with age. This case study adds to a sparse area of palaeo‐oncological research and calls for further future investigation.
