“…A primary malignant bone tumour (telangiectatic osteosarcoma) was reported from a canid with a cranial skeletal pathology from an excavation associated with the Przeworsk culture (III c. BC-V c. AD) [111]. A dog skull, an intentional inhumation, was dated to the Roman influence and the Migration period (I-V c. AD) in Lower Silesia, Poland.…”

“…The dog was a relatively large animal with a shoulder height of approximately 60 cm. Massive bone changes localised on the facial surface of the left maxilla required a multistage diagnostic protocol using traditional macroscopic and morphometric evaluation and modern diagnostic imaging techniques such as digital radiography, computed tomography, and 3D reconstruction [111]. Recently, a case of a dog with osteosarcoma was reported from an early Roman (1st-2nd century A.D.) pet cemetery in Berenike, Egypt [112].…”

Paleo-oncology studies neoplastic diseases in fossilised animals, including human remains. Recent advancements have enabled more accurate diagnoses of ancient pathologies despite the inherent challenges in identifying tumours in fossils—such as the rarity of well-preserved specimens, the predominance of bone remains, and the difficulty in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions. This study compiles reports of tumours in fossilised animals, highlighting that neoplasms are present in a wide range of vertebrates and drawing comparisons to modern instances of similar diseases. The findings underscore the multifactorial aetiology of tumours, which involves genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and suggest that tumours have been around for at least 350 million years.
