This case report presents a unique instance of Masson's tumor, highlighting its atypical presentation and diagnostic challenges. A 19-year-old male patient underwent cranioplasty surgery after presenting with swelling on the frontal scalp. No history of trauma was reported. We compared the preoperative and postoperative results and diagnosed an intracranial Masson's tumor pathologically, which was not detected radiologically. Ensuring complete excision of Masson's tumor stands as the foremost imperative for averting relapse, underscoring the significance of meticulous attention to the aesthetic outcome in cases undergoing concurrent cranioplasty surgery. By elucidating the correlation between the tumor and the patient's symptoms, this report contributes valuable insights into the clinical manifestations and management of this rare intracranial pathology. This addition to the scientific literature underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation and tailored therapeutic approaches for such cases, ultimately enriching our understanding of Masson's tumor and its clinical implications.
本病例报告展示了一例独特的马松氏肿瘤病例，突出了其非典型表现和诊断挑战。一名19岁男性患者因额部头皮肿胀接受了颅骨成形术。未报告有外伤史。我们比较了术前和术后结果，并通过病理诊断为颅内马松氏肿瘤，而影像学检查未检测到。确保完全切除马松氏肿瘤是避免复发的首要任务，这凸显了在同时进行颅骨成形术的病例中对美学效果予以细致关注的重要性。通过阐明肿瘤与患者症状之间相关性，本报告为这种罕见的颅内病变的临床表现及治疗提供了有价值的见解。这一补充到科学文献中的内容强调了对此类病例进行全面评估和量身定制治疗方法的重要性，最终丰富了我们对马松氏肿瘤及其临床意义的理解。
