Abstract in brief
A theropod dinosaur specimen, Dilophosaurus wetherilli, was found with significant bone abnormalities, having eight affected bones in its pectoral girdle and forelimb, which is unprecedented for this group.
The left side of the dinosaur's body showed a fractured scapula and radius, with large cysts in the ulna and thumb phalanx, while the right side had twisting of the humerus, tumors on the radius, and deformed finger bones.
Evidence of healing suggests the dinosaur lived for an extended time after its injuries, but one of its fingers was permanently deformed, resembling conditions known as developmental osteodysplasia in modern birds but previously undocumented in non-avian dinosaurs.
