Calvarial hemangioma: tumor stain and meningeal artery blood supply. Case report

A unique case of calvarial hemangioma

Background:

Calvarial hemangiomas are one of the rarest neoplasms affecting the skull, predominantly occurring in parietal and frontal bones.

Case Description:

We report a parietal hemangioma in a middle-aged female which presented as a painless swelling that was progressively increasing in size and was treated surgically.

Conclusion:

Although rare, calvarial hemangioma should be a part of the differential diagnosis of calvarial swellings.

Primary hemangioma of the occipital bone in the region of the torcula--two case reports

Two rare cases of subtorcular occipital bone hemangioma occurred in 26-year-old and 30-year-old female patients. Partial resection was performed in both cases because of the proximity to the torcula. No recurrence was seen at follow-up examination at 9 and 12 months.

Calvarial hemangioma with blood supply from branches of the internal carotid artery. Case report

✓ The sources of blood supply of calvarial hemangiomas are not well established angiographically but have been reported to derive from the middle meningeal artery. A case is presented in which both the external and the internal carotid arteries supplied the hemangioma. The protean arteriographic picture is explained in terms of the various tissues the tumor involves (galea, calvarium, or meninges).
