Primary hemangioma of the skull

Abstract

Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that may involve any part of the body. Primary osseous hemangiomas occur more frequently in the spine and less commonly in the skull. Toynbee 1845 1 was the author of the first report in English, a case of hemangioma of the skull bones. We report a rare case of skull cavernous hemangioma that was considered initially as prostate tumor metastasis.
