Paleopathology Case 92 This case is that of a 23-25 year old woman who died in childbirth 1,000 years ago in southern Peru. She had a large blood clot the size of a baseball in her perineal area. The symphysis pubis and sacral-iliac articulations were open. Her breasts were full with milk with a large tumor mass on the right and several small nodules on the left. An x-ray of the thoracic cavity, oblique and lateral, showed calcification in the tracheal-bronchial lymph nodes. Submitted by: Dr. Marvin J.
