“…They occur most frequently in the spine (30 to 50%) and skull (20%), whereas involvement of other sites (such as the long bones, short tubular bones, and ribs) is rare. Histologically, hemangiomas of the bone are classified as cavernous and capillary subtypes 14. The former comprised thin-walled blood vessels that have variable amounts of intervening collagenous fibrosis that may show calcification.…”

Primary Intraosseous Cavernous Hemangioma of the Clivus: Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2013

Primary intraosseous hemangiomas are benign, vascular malformations that account for approximately 1% of all primary bone neoplasms. These tumors are mostly found in vertebral bodies and are rarely seen in the calvarium, where they represent 0.2% of bony neoplasms. When found in the skull, they tend to present with vague symptoms and do not have the typical radiological findings suggestive of hemangiomas. Because of this, these tumors can be missed in many cases or may be misinterpreted as more ominous lesions like multiple myeloma or osteosarcoma. Involvement of the skull base is exceedingly rare, and presentation with cranial nerve unilateral polyneuropathies has not been reported. We report a patient case with review of recent pertinent literature.

“…Calvarial cavernous hemangiomas most frequently affect the frontal and parietal bones, but hemangiomas arising from the craniofacial bones (zygoma, maxilla, vomer, and mandible) have been reported as well 349101112131415. In these locations, they typically manifest as painless, progressive facial swelling.…”

“…Symptoms were different in clival hemangiomas and petrous bone hemangiomas. Five out of six cases (83%) of clival hemangiomas presented headache as the most common symptom, whereas nine out of 16 (56%) hemangiomas of the petrous bone presented facial paralysis, palsy or weakness and five out of 16 (31%) of them presented with vestibular or hearing symptoms . Our patient showed symptoms related to both locations.…”

“…Considering all the reported cases of hemangiomas and IPEH of the petrous bone and the clivus plus our case, 18 out of 23 cases (78%) belonged to women, whereas only five out of 23 (22%) belonged to men . Seventeen out of 20 patients (85%) were older than 17 years at diagnosis, and median age at diagnosis was 49 years. Median age at diagnosis was higher in patients with clival hemangiomas and IPEHs compared to patients with petrous bone hemangiomas and IPEHs, 61 and 42 years, respectively.…”

Masson's tumor or intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is considered a non‐neoplastic lesion. It is probably an unusual exaggerated reorganization of a thrombus. IPEH may be present as a secondary lesion in hemangiomas. Symptomatic osseous hemangiomas are rare tumors. Few cases of clival and petrous bone hemangiomas have been described. None of them shows secondary IPEH. So far, there are only four reported cases of cranial bone IPEHs in the literature, two in the skull, one in the clivus and one in the petrous apex. The aim of this study is to report an additional case of osseous hemangioma with secondary IPEH of the petroclival region. We review the literature and describe the main clinical features of IPEHs and hemangiomas of the clivus and the petrous bone. Additionally, we report an unusual histological feature observed in our case of IPEH, the presence of psammoma body‐like structures. This feature has been rarely mentioned previously in IPEH. We consider that IPEH should be included in the lesions that may present psammoma bodies to avoid misdiagnosing it as a tumor that commonly shows psammoma bodies, such as intraosseous meningioma or, less frequently, metastasis of thyroid or ovarian carcinoma.

“…Capillary hemangiomas lack fibrous septa, have smaller vessel lumens and mostly are seen in the vertebral column, while cavernous hemangiomas have thin-walled blood vessels and variable amounts of intervening collagenous fibrosis and may show calcification [4,13]. Calvarial hemangiomas present as expansile lesions producing local swelling.…”
