A Tumor with Teeth Discovered in Gothic Graveyard
A Tumor with Teeth Discovered in Gothic Graveyard Archaeologists excavating a gothic church graveyard in Lisbon, Portugal, made a discovery for the annals of medical history: an ovarian tumor that had started forming teeth. Today, doctors know that this type of cyst, called a teratoma, is the most common tumor that occurs in the ovaries. But scientists are just starting to learn about past teratoma cases thanks to new evidence from the archaeological record. http://www.livescience.com/59293-tum...graveyard.html |
