Cavernous Hemangiomas of the Pediatric Calvaria
Abstract:
This series reports 2 pediatric cases of calvarial cavernous hemangioma (cavernoma, cavernous malformation) treated surgically at Children's Hospital Colorado between 2008 and 2010. Both cases presented as painless bony masses which enlarged over time. Both patients underwent surgical resection without complication and have remained recurrence free since surgery. Because so few cases have been reported among pediatric populations, little is known regarding the epidemiology and prognosis of calvarial cavernous hemangiomas in children. These cases represent interesting additions to the small body of literature on these rare tumors.
