Intraosseous Hemangioma of the Skull with Dural Tail Sign: Radiologic Features with Pathologic Correlation

Summary: Osseous hemangiomas of the calvaria account for about 0.2% of bone neoplasms. We report a case of an extensive intraosseous cavernous hemangioma in a 46-year-old woman. MR imaging showed a mass in the right frontal bone with intra- and extracranial extension and a dural tail sign after gadopentetate dimeglumine administration, mimicking a meningioma in which the dural tail sign was due to a direct noninvasive superficial growth of the lesion.
