“…Weigel et al based on ventricular localization of both tumors hypothesized that a possible explanation of the collision of the two different tumors may be a cerebrospinal fluid mediated migration of tumor cells [1]. Kilani et al described some hypotheses based on radiation and traumas of head [10]. Our patient denied head history of trauma or cases of similar illness in the family history and also she did not get radiation.…”

Supratentorial dural-based collision of cavernoma and meningioma: a case report

Background: Collision tumor is a very rare case of cerebral lesion. Approximately 50 reports of intracranial collision tumors were described in the literature. We present a case of supratentorial dural-based convexity collision tumor radiologically mimicking cavernous malformation and composed of cavernous malformation and meningioma. Case presentation: The case presents a 63-year-old female having MR findings such as hemorraged supratentorial dural-based mass with "popcorn" signs and hemosiderin deposits. The patient underwent craniotomy and evacuation of the subdural hematoma with resection of the tumor mass. Histologically the lesion had signs of a cavernoma and meningioma. MRI in a year after surgery did not reveale residual tumor mass or recurrence. Conclusions: Collision tumor is a very rare case. Preoperative diagnosis of a dural lesion is difficult and challenging. A neuroradiological differential diagnosis of similar cases needs focused attention.

“…Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults, accounting for about a third of all primary CNS neoplasms. Meningiomas originate from meningothelial arachnoid cap cells, they occur primarily at the base of the skull in the parasellar regions and over the cerebral convexities [1].…”

“…It is crucial to recognize these features, as this will aid physicians in selecting the best management for the patient and to avoid complications. The correlation with histologic findings showing multiple thin-walled vascular spaces lined by endothelial cells and enclosed by loose connective tissue and bony trabeculations is important to arrive at a definitive diagnosis [17].…”

Radiologic Features with Pathologic Correlation of an Unusual Large Intraosseous Skull Cavernous Hemangioma

Patient: Female, 58 Final Diagnosis: Intraosseous skull hemangioma Symptoms: Palpable, painless hard mass in forehead • no headaches, altered mental status, seizures, or focal neurological deficit Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Cerebral angiogram and embolization of feeders • afterwards, she underwent a bifrontal craniectomy and cranioplasty Specialty: Radiology Objective: Rare disease Background: Intraosseous cavernous skull hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that are usually found incidentally on imaging, with an asymptomatic and slow-growing course. We present a case in which the patient had a mass on her forehead for many years, which began to grow rapidly after head trauma. Imaging characteristics play a crucial role in the diagnosis and description of this disease, and in differentiating it from other more common calvarial lesions that may present with a similar clinical picture. Here, we report an unusual presentation of a large skull hemangioma and discuss the different radiologic imaging findings and pathologic correlations. Case Report: A 58-year-old female with history of a lump on her forehead since childhood, which began to grow rapidly after experiencing a closed-head injury. Due to its large size, she went on to seek further management. Radiologic images revealed a frontal skull lesion suggestive of an intraosseous hemangioma. She underwent embolization of the tumor, and 2 days later underwent bilateral frontal craniectomy and cranioplasty. Histopathologic findings confirmed this diagnosis. Conclusions: Intraosseous skull hemangioma may be confidently diagnosed and differentiated from other skull lesions by its imaging characteristics. An accurate diagnosis is essential to selecting correct management and avoiding complications.
