“…1 Hyperostosis usually involves frontal bones with preponderance for females, but cases have been reported where involvement of occipital and parietal bones have been documented. [2][3][4] It can develop independently or on background of other pathologies such as androgen imbalance and acromegaly. 5 As it can closely mimic sinister bony pathology, routine use of hybrid nuclear scans can differentiate between normal variants, metabolic and metastatic pathologies.…”

Skeletal scintigraphy has a pivotal role in detecting a number of bone pathologies, but it has its own limitations becauseof 2D image acquisition. Hybrid imaging acts as a savior in these cases where it is difficult to distinguish between benignand malignant lesions just on the basis of planar images. We present one such case of known breast carcinoma withabnormal increased radiotracer uptake in the skull which was difficult to characterize as benign lesion such as hyperostosisfrontalis or metastatic osseous lesion. The importance of describing this case is to have a thorough understanding ofhyperostosis patterns and to not confuse it with metastatic deposits in patients with known malignancies. Keywords: Hyperostosis Frontalis, SPECT-CT, bone scan

“…Recent studies on HFI undoubtedly suggest an increasing prevalence of the condition [ 3 , 8 , 9 ]. The risk of developing HFI has also increased by a factor of 2.5 with more severe cases arising in younger age populations compared to older generations [ 8 ].…”

“…The frequency of HFI in the general population is believed to be between 5 and 12% depending on factors such as age and sex [ 3 ]. Reports demonstrate a higher risk of HFI in postmenopausal females; Vuković et al suggest a 16.4% prevalence among postmenopausal females [ 9 ]. Perhaps, additional diagnostic measures should be taken considering the increasing prevalence of HFI.…”

A routine dissection of an 89-year-old female cadaver who had died of cardiopulmonary arrest revealed a unique case of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI). Multiple layers of spongy bone growth deep to the internal table were coupled with asymmetrical nodular growths. Slight superior sagittal sinus growth was also noted, which is atypical of this condition. Additionally, this cadaver represents one of the rarer and more severe forms of HFI, class C. A clear consensus on whether HFI presents a clinical risk has not been reached. We hope that this report on a unique manifestation of HFI will help clinicians in evaluating patients with this condition.
