A Multifocal Frontal Bone Cavernous Hemangioma – Rare Case with Review of Literature

Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas are usually found in the vertebrae. Rare in the cranial vault and account for 0.2% of cranial bone tumors. Usually, they are solitary. Multifocal cavernous hemangioma in the bones is extremely rare and common in females. The majority of these lesions are small and incidentally diagnosed. Few patients may present with painless progressively enlarging mass in the cranial bones. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans can be helpful for evaluating intraosseous hemangioma. Histopathology examination is required for the definitive diagnosis. They tend to recur after incomplete resection. The treatment of choice is complete resection by craniotomy with adequate normal bone margin and subsequent cranioplasty.
