Description
Summary:Primary skull intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that account for about 0.2% of all bone tumors and 10% of benign skull tumors. These tumors typically present as well delimited osteolytic lesions in the calvary, however giant and ossified hemangioma has rarely been reported in the literature. Total surgical excision is the treatment of choice and the prognosis after complete excision is excellent, with recurrence usually rare. The following is a rare case of giant skullcap hemangioma with discussion of the pathology, imaging, differential diagnoses and treatment of this entity.
