Benign skull lesions are rare and typically require neurosurgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment. Early recognition by primary care physicians is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Benign skull lesions are uncommon but necessitate specialized medical attention.
  • Accurate documentation of their features is essential for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively document the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of benign skull lesions.
  • To analyze diagnostic modalities and surgical outcomes for these lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective case series was conducted over a 10-year period.
  • Data included patient demographics, clinical presentation, radiographic and pathological findings, surgical procedures, and follow-up.
  • Thirty-one patients with excised benign skull lesions were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Osteomas constituted the majority (63%) of the 32 excised lesions, predominantly located in the parietal bone.
  • Most patients were asymptomatic, with plain skull radiography and computed tomography proving useful diagnostic tools.
  • Surgical excision via craniectomy with cranioplasty was performed, with a low rate of postoperative complications.

Conclusions:

  • Benign skull lesions, though infrequent, require neurosurgical intervention for diagnosis, cosmesis, and prevention of neurological decline.
  • Prompt referral by primary care physicians is vital for timely and appropriate management.
