Iliacus-piriformis abscess and septic arthritis from Theban Tomb (TT) 65.

The incomplete skeletonized remains of Person 3/3a, from Shaft Tomb 3 of Theban Tomb (TT) 65, show mixed osteolytic and osteoblastic lesions in the left os coxa, sacrum, and distal right radius, with less pronounced osteoblastic, possibly related lesions elsewhere. Iliacus-piriformis abscess and septic arthritis are deemed primarily responsible while other considered etiological entities are less likely.
