Abstract

The most recent compilation of previously diagnosed tumors in ancient Egyptian anthropological material is already eight years old. The intention of this study is to integrate subsequently discovered cases of bone and soft tissue tumors into this list. A structuring of the compilation as in a modern register of tumors will be thereby attempted; that is, a collection of all significant available information (provenience, sex, age, historical period, author(s) and year of publication, diagnosis, possible former diagnosis, cross grading) including that found in the relevant bibliography, for a comprehensive and timely paleopathology and history of diseases. Interpretation of the results should follow only with great caution, as the diagnoses in a number of cases, particularly those of malign tumors, require additional precise methodological clarification.
