Ancient Egyptian mummy diagnosed with cancer of the leg

An imaging scan of a 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummy revealed a diagnosis doctors had been trying to pinpoint for more than a decade: cancer. Doctors recently subjected the mummified body of a man nicknamed “Hen” to a full computed tomography scan at the Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, New York, according to technology information site  Boy Genius Report.
“He had a tumor on his fibula, which is one of the two bones of the lower leg,” Dr. Mark Levinsohn of Crouse Hospital said in a syracuse.com video. "It had all the characteristics of a malignant tumor and one that’s somewhat rare. So, here we have a rare circumstance and a rare tumor and that evoked our interest a lot.”
