RESUMO
Clavarial cavernous haemangioma is a rare tumour, comprising about 0.2% of all benign neoplasms of the skull. The authors report the case of a 42-year-old woman admitted for a slow growing right parietal mass, hard to pressure, with freely mobile skin above the lesion. Cranial CT scan showed osteolytic lesion with erosion of the tabula extema. Surgery was performed with en bloc resection of the tumour completed by reconstruction of the osseous defect with methylmethacrylate

Melanotic progonoma is a rare tumour that generally arises in the maxilla during the first year of life. The involvement of cranial vault bones is extremely rare. The authors report the case of a 7-month-old female infant admitted for a congenital right parieto-occipital bone tumour. The radiological examination showed a spicular opacity pattern. The surgical resection was complete. We highlight the rarity of this neoplasm and discuss epidemiological, clinical, radiological and therapeutical characteristics of this pathology
