title: Hemangioma calcificans with circumscribed brain atrophy.
abstract: A case of hemangioma calcificans is presented. On CT scan, the tumor shows no mass effect but is accompanied by circumscribed low density which is deemed to indicate brain atrophy and an enlarged subarachnoid space. A case of this tumor surrounded by peritumoral brain atrophy has not been reported before.
