An elderly male skeleton from medieval Canterbury displayed evidence of DISH and metastatic carcinoma. The dry bone findings, SEM, and radiography suggest a primary focus in the prostate. A review of the palaeopathological literature has shown that such a finding is extremely rare in archaeological remains. This is the first reported case of prostatic carcinoma from medieval England.
一具来自中世纪坎特伯雷的老年男性骨骼显示出弥漫性特发性骨肥厚（DISH）和转移性癌的迹象。骨骼干燥状态下的发现、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）检查及X光检查表明前列腺可能是原发灶。对古病理学文献的回顾显示，这样的发现在考古遗骸中极为罕见。这是中世纪英格兰首例有报道的前列腺癌病例。
