An Ancient Skeleton with Multiple Osteoblastic Bone Lesions Containing a Scapular Sunburst Appearance from a 5th–6th Century Grave Excavated in Oita, Japan

Figure 6

Photographs of the right scapula (a), right clavicle (b), and vertebral body (c). The right scapula, mainly the glenoid region, remained partially (a). Overall, the bone was markedly broken, but osteoblastic lesions were present extensively on the bone surface excluding the joint surface. On the right clavicle, worm eaten-like lesions were present almost circumferentially on the surface (b). On the vertebral body (c), cancellous bone was markedly thickened across its entirely, showing the features of osteosclerosis.
