title: Surgical techniques for the removal of forehead hemangioma.
abstract: Hemangiomas of the bone are rare tumors, accounting for 0.5-1% of all benign skeletal tumors. Most of these tumors are found in the vertebral bodies and they are rarely seen in the cranial bones, where their frequency is 0.2% of all bone neoplasms. The authors, after reviewing the literature, describe their experience with a case of frontal bone hemangioma.
