: occured in 3 cases. Fazekasboda

: on the femur of a child spiked hyperostosis (57, 158): on the lower third of an adult tibia was a 10 × 6 mm exostosis; (57, 157) Zengővárkony: 15×18 mm sized, 5 mm. os occipitale of an adult (57, 141). f) Tumours

: Osteoma

: We separated the hyperostoses from the osteomas. The spiked, tuberal or spur-like hypertrophies of bones rising from the surface and whose building up is identical to their starting place we placed according to the usual pathological way (Hueck) in the group of the hyperostosis (extosis, resp.) whereas the spongiosus or structurally rearranged (in direction of the trabeculae etc.) alterations were listed to the osteomas. The structure was examined by roentgenogram so we could dispense with sawing it up. In the material of the Roman period I came across osteoma in two cases such as: Vörösmart: on the right os parietale a hezelnut sized, flat, smooth surfaced bone growth (57, 127). Kővágószöllős: on the os frontale a 5×4 mm sized flat, smooth surfaced tumour (58, 101). According to recent pathological experience one of the osteomas praedilectional sites is the skull. Suspicion of intercranial tumour

: One case (see description of 3

d case Zengővárkony 57, 139). The changes do not correspond morphologically to either syphilis or tuberculosis. The bone destruction of osteolytic sarcoma is larger and more irregularly shaped. The bone rims are also irregular in metastasis of cancer. In myeloma the usuration is round, has sharper edges and perforation is 64
