RESUMO
Enchondromas occur with an estimated modern incidence rate of 27.7% of benign bone tumors (Hauben and Hogendoorn, 2010), but few are represented in the paleopathological record. The medieval site of St. Pere in Spain has produced a convincing case. The diagnosis was confirmed by X-Ray, CT-scan and µ-CT scan. Therefore UF 755 from St. Pere - a male of more than 60 years old - can be confirmed as a femoral case of enchondroma, supported by evidence, in the paleopathological record.

El condroma es un tumor benigno, de tejido cartilaginoso, que se localiza en huesos largos pequeños. Excepcionalmente se encuentra en tejidos blandos, dando la variante extraesquelética cutánea, cuando lo hace en la piel. La mayoría de estos casos se localizan en las extremidades, siendo más frecuentes en las superiores, en una proporción de 3:1 con respecto a las inferiores. Predomina en la raza blanca y en adultos jóvenes. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 63 años, con un condroma extraesquelético cutáneo de localización plantar, de un año de evolución, aspecto noduloide, doloroso a la palpación y a la compresión al deambular, de 1 cm de diámetro. Se trata de la primera comunicación en la literatura de habla hispana

A survey of the tumors found in the remains of the Ancient Egyptians shows the occurrence of all the kinds of tumors which would be expected to be preserved in the osteological evidence. On the other hand, findings of tumors in the soft tissues of mummies are only exceptional. The frequency of tumors seems to be lower than in recent years, probably because of the shorter mean duration of life. The pathological lesions preserved in bony sturcture reveal not only osseous tumors, but also the presence of some tumors of soft tissues eroding the bone. To the survey of cases described in the literature, original findings of a calcified myoma uteri and of a probably epipharyngeal carcinoma are added. Because our knowledge on the history of tumors is not yet comprehensive, much more attention should be devoted to the search for them, starting from the moment of excavation of any cemetary.
