[Tuberculosis localized in the skull bones in a child].

A case is presented, of a child aged 2.8 years with tumor-like formations in the parietal and the frontal bones, showing lacunar lesions on the radiography of the skull. This case raised a large number of hypotheses concerning the etiologic diagnosis of the lacuna lesions. Histologic investigations showed that lesions were due to tuberculosis of the skull bones. In this case probability and certitude criteria were present supporting this diagnosis.
