A unique case of calvarial hemangioma.
BACKGROUND
Calvarial hemangiomas are one of the rarest neoplasms affecting the skull, predominantly occurring in parietal and frontal bones.


METHODS
We report a parietal hemangioma in a middle-aged female which presented as a painless swelling that was progressively increasing in size and was treated surgically.


CONCLUSIONS
Although rare, calvarial hemangioma should be a part of the differential diagnosis of calvarial swellings.
