“…PICHs of the cranium are rare benign vascular tumors that account for about 0.2% of all bone tumors and 10% of benign skull tumors. 3 It occurs most commonly in the vertebral column and rarely in the skull. Of the 93 cases of skull PICH reported in previous literatures from 1845 to 2015, 44.1% were located in the frontal bone, 12.9% involved the temporal bones, 11.8% occurred in the occipital bone, 12.9% in parietal bone, and 5.4% in Cranial fossa; fewer cases have been reported in sphenoid, zygomatic, ethmoid, clivus, and orbital rim, etc.…”

Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) are benign vascular tumors that may involve any part of the body. PICH occurs more frequently in the spine and less commonly in skull. The earliest description in the English literature was in 1845 by Toynbee, who reported a vascular tumor arising in the confines of the parietal bone. Skull PICHs do not always have typical radiologic features and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant skull lesions. We now reviewed and analyzed related literatures in detail with reporting a rare case of PICH in the left front bone that was surgically resected.

“…The pathogenesis is still unknown but a history of trauma seems to be related in some case reports. 3 Total surgical excision is the treatment of choice and the prognosis after complete excision is excellent and recurrence is usually rare. Herein, we present a rare case of a skull PICH in a 17-year-old girl.…”

“…Primary hemangiomas could be divided into three types: cavernous, capillary, and mixed. Cavernous hemangioma is the most common type in the skull, accounting for 10% of all benign tumors and 0.2% of cranial tumors of the skull [3]. Hemangiomas could occur in any part of the skull, such as the clivus [4, 5], frontal bone [6, 7], parietal bone or petrous bone [8], but are predominantly located in the frontal bone, with 44.1% of skull PICHs reported in this area in previous studies [2].…”

Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the skull misdiagnosed as skull metastasis in breast cancer patient: one case report and literature review

et al. 2019

Background Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) of the skull are extremely rare. To date, diffuse cranial hemangioma of skull has not been reported. In cancer patients, it is often misdiagnosed as metastasis. Case presentation Here, we presented a case of a 50-year-old female patient suffering from slightly headache who received breast cancer modified radical mastectomy in 2004, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings revealed abnormal lesions of diffuse skull which were misdiagnosed as skull metastasis, and the relevant literatures were also reviewed. Conclusions Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the skull is exceedingly rare, and imaging data are not typical. The condition is often misdiagnosed, and pathological evaluation is necessary and important. In cases where the mass cannot be completely removed by surgery, radiotherapy could be beneficial.

“…Since then, most of the publications in the scientific literature have been presented in a single clinical case format, with the exception of two reviews of extensive casuistry that constitute the main references on this entity [22]. PICHs of the skull are rare benign vascular tumors, accounting for about 0.2% of all tumors and 10% of benign tumors of the skull [59]. They occur most frequently in the spine and rarely in the skull.…”

Intraosseous cavernous hemangioma: presentation of a clinical case

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumors that exceptionally affect the cranial bones. The first description of this type of tumor was in 1845 by Toynbee. A review of the literature reveals less than 100 published cases and a growing trend every year. Total surgical excision is the treatment of choice, and the prognosis after complete excision is excellent, with a recurrence usually rare. Case presentation: We present the case of a 57-year-old patient with a painless tumor of the left frontal bone, of slow growth and osteolytic characteristics from the neuro-radiological point of view. The lesion was excised en bloc by craniectomy, followed by cranioplasty. The anatomopathological diagnosis was intraosseous cavernous hemangioma. Conclusions: Despite its low frequency, the diagnosis of intraosseous cavernous hemangioma should be considered in the presence of a slow-growing cranial tumor, with solid and painless characteristics, and its osteolytic nature confirmed by radiology. The treatment of choice consists in the complete resection of the lesion.
