Paleopathological find of a sacral neurilemmoma from ancient Egypt.

Authors:
Eugen Strouhal Alena Nemecková

Am J Phys Anthropol 2004 Dec;125(4):320-8

Institute for the History of Medicine and Foreign Languages, First Medical Faculty, Charles University, 121 08 Prague 2, Czech Republic.

A large, smooth-walled cavity molded from the pressure of a relatively hard, globular, and lobulated tissue mass was found inside the sacrum of the mature female, Imakhetkherresnet. She was the sister of the lector-priest Iufaa, whose unmolested tomb dates to the late 26th Dynasty (prior to 625 BC). The origin of the lesion could be determined unambiguously by macroscopic, radiographic, and histological analysis. It was caused by a neurilemmoma (schwannoma, neurinoma), a benign tumor originating in a nerve sheath. This is the first description in the paleopathological literature of this kind of tumor occurring in the sacrum.

Palaeopathological diagnosis after 2500 years. The case of Imakhetkherresnet, sister of priest Iufaa.

Authors:
E Strouhal A Nĕmecková

Prague Med Rep 2009 ;110(2):102-13

Charles University in Prague, First Faculty of Medicine, Institute for the History of Medicine and Foreign Languages, Prague, Czech Republic.

The aim of palaeopathological studies has been traditionally the determination of a diagnosis of any found pathological change. If based merely on skeletal evidence, most of them proved to be only tentative. Our case of the mature female Imakhetkherresnet, sister of the lector-priest Iufaa, having preserved scraps of soft tissue, enabled a precise diagnosis. Read More
