Cavernous hemangioma of the frontal bone.
A 61-year-old female presented with a tumor of her left superior orbital rim, which caused blepharoptosis and slight displacement of the globe. X-ray films showed a lytic defect in the frontal bone, while a computed tomography revealed the tumor to extend along the orbital roof, as well as to involve the posterior lamina of the frontal bone. A biopsy taken from the tumor showed it to be an intraosseus cavernous hemangioma.
