Hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor of endothelial cell origin. It may involve bone or soft tissues and can behave like a benign or malignant tumor. In the literature, there are several case reports on the involvement of the head and neck region, but involvement of the frontal bone is extremely rare. This report presents the case of a 4-year-old boy with the diagnosis of spindle cell hemangioendothelioma of the frontal bone, who was treated by wide surgical resection.
血管内皮瘤是一种起源于内皮细胞的血管肿瘤。它可能累及骨骼或软组织，其行为表现可能像良性肿瘤或恶性肿瘤。在文献中，有几例关于头颈部受累的病例报告，但额骨受累极为罕见。本报告介绍了一名4岁男孩，诊断为额骨梭形细胞血管内皮瘤，接受了广泛手术切除治疗。
