Evaluating an osteoid osteoma of the zygomatic bone: A macromorphological and micro-CT study
Objective
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign, ovoid-shaped bone neoplasm that predominantly affects long bones of the lower limbs, making its presence on a zygomatic bone exceptionally rare. This paper evaluates a case of zygomatic OO, analyzed by integration of macroscopic and high-resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) assessment.
Materials
The skeletal remains of a 35–50-year-old male from grave 62/2, Site 40 (Avar-period necropolis Site 40, Potes Gornje Sajlovo, northern Serbia), dated between the 7th and 9th centuries CE, were analyzed.
Methods
We performed bioanthropological and paleopathological analyses of skeletal material, along with high-resolution micro-CT imaging of the zygomatic lesion.
Results
A well-circumscribed, protruding mass was identified on the left zygomatic bone. The lesion measured 15.93 mm antero-posterior and 14.92 mm medio-lateral, with a 6.74 mm-long centrally positioned nidus surrounded by sclerotic bone.
Conclusions
Our study represents a rare case of craniofacial OO in an archaeological population, highlighting the diagnostic value of micro-CT in paleopathology.
Significance
Documenting OO in an archaeological context contributes to understanding the prevalence and presentation of benign bone neoplasms, potentially offering insights into the evolution of tumor biology.
Limitations
As this is a single-case study, generalizations are limited. Nevertheless, it provides novel micro-CT findings of the OO of the zygomatic bone, highlighting the need for broader application in paleopathological research to establish standard diagnostic criteria.
Suggestions for further research
Further research should employ a multidisciplinary and multi-scale approach to investigate this or similar skeletal pathological conditions from archaeological contexts at the population level.
期刊介绍:
Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.
