Authors describes a paleopathological case of regional osseous atrophy of a human jaw dated from the Roman time and coming from Rutigliano (Bari). The atrophy was probably related to the compressive action of the lateral part of the submandibular salivary gland, such as the Stafne's defect. Authors discussed the differential diagnosis of this case and remarked the extreme rarity of this jaw pathology, especially in ancient times.
作者描述了一例可追溯至罗马时期、来自鲁蒂利亚诺（巴里）的人类下颌骨局部骨质萎缩的古病理学病例。这种萎缩可能与下颌下唾液腺外侧部分的压迫作用有关，比如斯台夫内氏骨囊肿。作者讨论了该病例的鉴别诊断，并指出这种颌骨病变极为罕见，尤其是在古代。
