Ancient Human Skeleton (15th–19th Centuries) with Mastoid Osteoma, Discovered in Iași (Romania)
This study is focused on a case of mastoid osteoma, a benign tumor reported in a skeletal sample found at the “Adormirea Maicii Domnului” Roman Catholic Cathedral of Iași (Romania). The sample, containing 89 skeletons (children, adolescents, adults, mature and senile) originates from inhumation tomb...
