Adult growing skull fracture mimicking a skull tumor.
Growing skull fractures (GSF) are rare in adults. We report the case of an adult who was found to have a GSF 50 years after head trauma. This case highlights the need to consider GSFs in the differential diagnosis of adults with intradiploic skull lesions.
