“…13,14 Less frequently, cavernous hemangiomas cause adjacent bone destruction, making them difficult to differentiate from other malignant tumors. 15 The occurrence of phleboliths which appear as hyper dense areas on CT are considered to be more typical of cavernous haemangiomas. Itoh et al first described the MR features of the cavernous haemangiomas.…”

Cavernous hemangioma of the nasal cavity is extremely rare with only case reports in the literature highlighting the imaging findings on CT and MRI. Haemangioma are benign vascular tumours, which originate in the skin, mucosa and deep structures such as bones, muscles and glands. Exact etiopathogenesis of the haemangioma is not known, although they are divided into two types depending on the dominant vessel size at microscopy, capillary and cavernous. When these neoplasms arise in the nasal cavity, they are predominantly capillary and are found to arise from the nasal septum and are more common in the children. On the other hand, Cavernous haemangiomas are more likely to be found on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and are more commonly seen in elderly. Also, inverted pappiloma also more commonly arise from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, from the middle turbinate and also has the same demographics as the cavernous hemangioma. So, the distinction between the two should be carefully made based on the imaging findings so as to give the appropriate treatment to the patient. We have presented a rare case cavernous haemangioma arising from the mucosa of the middle nasal meatus, in a 37-year-old male which is mimicking as an inverted pappiloma based on the imaging features; however on histopathology proved to be cavernous hemangioma and also on the multimodal imaging that helps in early diagnosis and advocating appropriate and timely treatment.

“…Although cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) more often involve the brain parenchyma, skull bones may also be affected. Hemangiomas of the skull account for 10% of all the benign tumors of the skull (4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . The literature review has demonstrated that CHs of the skull involved the frontal, temporal, and parietal bones, respectively.…”

BACKGROUND: Cavernous haemangiomas are rare benign bone tumours and those at the level of cranial bones are even rarer. The vertebral column is most often affected, followed by the skull. Calvarial cavernous haemangioma is rare, comprising about 0.2% of all benign neoplasms of the skull. CASE REPORT: We describe here, 2 patients with calvarial cavernous haemangioma that were localized frontally and parietally. The patients were of 45 years and 50 years of age, came with the history of dizziness and headache along with slow growing mass on frontal and parietal region respectively. The mass was soft to firm in consistency with freely mobile skin above the cavernoma sites. A computed tomography scan showed an osteolytic lesion with erosion of tabula externa. Total resection of the lesions and cranioplasty were performed in both the patients.Histopathology of the surgical sample revealed primary osseous cavernous type haemangioma showing large, thin walled, dilated capillary spaces lined by flattened endothelial cells without evidence of malignancy. CONCLUSION: Skull cavernous haemangioma are rare benign tumours. It should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant skull lesions. Histopathological confirmation after surgical resection of tumour is the definitive method of diagnosis.
