“…In histology, hemangiomas can be classified as cavernous or capillary [9,12,13]. The first type has no capsule and it is formed by large vascular cavernous spaces filled with blood and separated by connective tissue [9,12,13].…”

“…When originated in the calvaria, most hemangiomas are asymptomatic and some patients may complain of headaches, pain in the scalp and/or existence of a palpable mass [12]. In cases involving the scalp, the skin may be normal and there may be areas of ulceration, recurrent infections, painful thrombosis and/or bleedings [3,4].…”

Hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor during childhood. However, cases of giant hemangiomas determining deformities in the craniofacial region are not reported frequently. Craniofacial giant hemangiomas are challenging for surgeons since they cause aesthetic and/or functional problems and may be associated with important complications such as ulcerations, infections and bleedings. The present report is aimed at describing a rare case of craniofacial asymmetry in a 30-year-old patient, secondary to an extensive mass whose growth deformed the scalp in the frontal-parietal-temporal region. The lesion was completely surgically removed with good aesthetic results, and the anatomopathological examination revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma.

Hemangiomas are benign, slow-growing tumors composed of sinusoidal blood vessels. Skeletal hemangiomas are uncommon and are mostly vertebral, followed by cranial in location. Cranial hemangiomas are very rarely encountered in children. Authors report a 12-year girl who presented with a painless enlarging mass over the parietal scalp for 3 months. Imaging revealed a left parietal intraosseous lytic mass with a sunburst appearance. Enbloc removal and cranioplasty was performed, and histopathology was suggestive of hemangioma. We reviewed the literature on pediatric cranial intraosseous hemangiomas (PCIH) (age ≤18 years) by searching online database. Including ours, a total of 24 cases were analyzed. Mean age was 10.2 years (range 4 months-17 years). Eight were in the first decade and 16 were in the second decade. Male:female ratio was 12:12 (1:1). A painless palpable mass was the commonest presenting feature. Parietal and frontal bones were most commonly involved. Intracranial extension was noted in cases. Mean size of the lesion was 5 cm (range 1-12 cm). Twenty-two underwent primary surgical removal while two had additional pre-operative embolization. Surgical procedures were craniectomy alone (n-3), craniectomy + cranioplasty (n-6), tumor excision + remodeling (n-3), and tumor debulking (n-2). Histopathology was cavernous type in majority of cases. Mean follow-up duration was 11.8 months (range 2-38 months). There were no recurrences. One patient died due to systemic infection. Ours is the first review exclusively on PCIH. Although rare, they need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of lytic skull lesions in children. Enbloc removal with cranioplasty is the preferred treatment in vault hemangiomas, while embolization followed by debulking would suffice in large cranial base lesions.
