  • Title: Large osteolytic skull tumor presenting as a small subcutaneous scalp lesion.
    Author: Sutherland JE, Dahdaleh NS, Greenlee JD, Kirby PA, Sargent MD.
    Journal: J Am Board Fam Med; 2011; 24(6):763-7. PubMed ID: 22086822.
    Abstract:
    Subcutaneous nodules of the scalp are common and usually benign. We describe a case that presented as a probable inclusion cyst or lipoma of the scalp that was discovered to be a benign osteolytic fibrohistiocytic lesion of the frontoparietal skull. This ultimately was successfully treated by neurosurgery with a craniectomy, tumor excision, and reconstructive cranioplasty.
