  • Title: A likely cranial osteodystrophy (Paget's disease of bone) in a Precolumbian, Mesoamerican stone sculpture.
    Author: Toni R, Ceglia L.
    Journal: J Endocrinol Invest; 2017 Jul; 40(7):787-788. PubMed ID: 28255822.
    Abstract:
    This short note illustrates facial and head features found in a stone sculpture of the ancient, Precolumbian period in a temple of the Mayan city of Copan (Honduras). The authors believe that this observation may support paleoanthropological evidence of Paget's disease of bone, an osteodystrophy described in the Mesoamerican Indian populations before the first millennium A.D.
