“…Excluding the papers that deal with radiological approach to diagnosis of calvarial lesions, skull base haemangiomas, other lesions mimicking these like haemangioendothelioma, angiosarcomas, epithelial hyperplasia's, subgaleal haemangiomas, intraosseous venous malformations, aneurysmal bone cysts and those not in the English language we collected a total of 49 reports of 61 cases that are enumerated in Table 2 . 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 The classical radiological appearance of CHs consists of an expansile lytic lesion on computed tomography (CT) scans. 3 , 5 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 17 However, there are reports of finding sclerotic lesions mimicking an osteoma as well and also lesions that expand the diploic space with a central sclerosis resembling osteoblastoma.…”

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.

Meningiomas usually present with vague neurological symptoms or are incidentally detected on imaging. Radiologists are aware of the classical imaging picture of this entity comprising of enhancing extra-axial mass with associated hyperostosis. However, the presence of an aggressive sunburst type of periosteal reaction in a primary intra-osseous osteolytic meningioma, along with an extra-axial soft tissue as seen in our case has not been described previously in the literature.
