Abstract

Intraosseous angiolipomas are very rare tumors occurring most commonly in the ribs and mandible. So far, only five cases of intraosseous angiolipomas of skull have been reported in the literature. We report the rare case of a 52 years old lady admitted with a swelling over the right frontotemporoparietal region of 12 years duration, which turned out to be an angiolipoma. We discuss its radiological features, histological features and management. We also present a review of the literature on intraosseus calvarial angiolipomas.

Keywords: Angiolipoma; Intraosseous; Skull.
