The collection of fossil fishes from Solnhofen (Upper Jurassic, southern Germany), deposited at the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology was examined for the detection of integument or skeletalpathologies. Among 50 studied specimens, only one halecomorph fish exhibited lesions: these are diagnosed as skin tumors. In extant taxa the causes of this disease are varied (toxins, infectious agents, physical or immunological causes, nutritional and metabolic perturbations). The morphology of these skin lesions is identical to those previously observed in fossil fishes from Monte Bolca (Eocene, northern Italy). This case study represents one of the oldest paleopathology in fossil fishes.
对保存在巴伐利亚州古生物学和地质收藏馆的来自索伦霍芬（德国南部，上侏罗统）的化石鱼类进行了检查，以检测其体表或骨骼病变。在研究的50个标本中，只有一条全骨鱼类出现了病变：这些病变被诊断为皮肤肿瘤。在现存分类群中，这种疾病的病因多种多样（毒素、传染因子、物理或免疫原因、营养和代谢紊乱）。这些皮肤病变的形态与之前在意大利北部始新世的蒙特博尔卡化石鱼类中观察到的病变相同。这个案例研究代表了化石鱼类中最古老的古病理学案例之一。
