    Abstract:
    A case of acromegaly in a male individual aged about 30 years, who lived in the area of Central Balkans in the 14th or 15th century will be described here. This individual is from an archeological site named Przine near Gacko, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The diagnosis is based on pathological changes of the skull and the postcranial skeleton. By radiological analysis it could be observed that the Sella turcica does not show any change. Furthermore, the individual under study is not conspicuous by giant growth. This case of acromegaly is the oldest one found in the Balkan area.
