Cavernous haemangioma of the skull

ABSTRACT

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
