Plain-Language Summary

Why This Research Matters

Cranial skull base and calvarial bone lesions in children require precise tissue diagnosis and reconstruction to preserve neural function and normal skull growth.

A detailed clinical case report on the diagnosis and delicate surgical removal of an unusual non-malignant skull bone lesion in a child.

Scientific Abstract

Study Abstract

Giant cell tumors primarily involve the epiphyses of long bones and are exceptionally uncommon in the calvarium, especially in pediatric demographics. This report describes the radiological characteristics, microsurgical resection strategy, reconstruction considerations, and histological confirmation.
