Pathology
The youth had suffered from a chronic systemic and
probably painful illness for some time. The disease had
affected the bones of the shoulder, spine, ribs and hips in
particular, but also individual bones of the forearm (ulnae)
and hands. The bone is highly abnormal, swollen and spongy...
Apart from a small lesion on the top of the cranium, the
head and face were apparently not involved in the disease
process, although the antimortem loss of so many teeth at
such a young age might be due to the disease."
