    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old woman presented with multiple calvarial cavernous hemangiomas manifesting as right frontal swelling. Craniography and computed tomography showed an osteolytic lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple intraosseous lesions, and radioisotope bone scintigraphy identified even more numerous lesions. Total resection of the right frontal lesion and cranioplasty was performed. Histological examination confirmed the lesion as a cavernous hemangioma. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed multiple hepatic lesions, which might be cavernous hemangiomas. Cavernous hemangioma is a rare bony tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skull tumors. A patient with multiple cavernous hemangiomas should undergo systemic examination to look for latent lesions, and regular follow-up examinations.
