Abstract :
Intraosseous capillary hemangioma of the skull in infancy is quite exceptional. We describe a case of a 9-month-old male in whom capillary type hemangioma of the parietal bone was present. The lesion was totally excised and diagnosis was made histopathologically. Hence there is no accurate way of making correct diagnosis preoperatively, histopathologic verification of the diagnosis is essential for correct treatment of these patients.
