Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas (PICHs) are benign vascular lesions that may occur in any part of the body. They account for 0.2% of all bone tumors and 10% of benign skull tumors. PICHs are usually seen in vertebral column and very rarely involve skull. We report a 36-year-old female patient with large right parietal cavernous hemangioma. The lesion had been excised completely with a good neurological outcome.

Key-words:

Calvarial - primary intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas - skull
