title: [The clinical session that never happened.]
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Every illness provides signs that enable diagnosis no matter how hidden they may be, even in a 3.000 years old mummy thanks to the advances in medicine and similarity with other known cases of osseous lithiasis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We have analyzed the features of its localization (bladder, ureteral or renal); knowledge got its way to allow today the answer to the final arcane enigma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The identification of the case being investigated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Today, in a 3.000 years old mummy, we found the most likely cause of his death thanks to the careful preservation and the scientists decision to select, among the current inspection techniques, those which are less destructive of the wisely embalmed rests.
