What Causes Lump On Forehead Over The Space Where Calvarial Hemangioma Identified?
Diagnosed 2 mo. ago with 9mm calvarial hemangioma in right frontal skull within the diploic space. Now, I have sudden onset of painful lump on my forehead over the space where calvarial hemangioma was identified. What could this be? Is this cause for concern?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A swelling developing over the forehead needs to be investigated.
A CT scan of the head needs to be done.
A hemangioma in the calvarial bone can extend outside the bone and cause a forehead swelling.
Surgical excision of the hemangioma is the treatment of choice for hemangioma.
Thanks and take care
