Massive enlargement of an extracerebral cavernous malformation and extension across tissue planes is very uncommon. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old woman with a giant cavernous malformation in the left frontotemporal area. It progressively enlarged during several decades, extended through the calvaria to the extradural space, and was surgically treated. The lesion may have originated in the soft tissue or the skull. The locations of cavernous malformations in various parts of the body are reviewed and their mechanisms of growth are discussed. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
脑外海绵状畸形的巨大增大并跨越组织平面非常罕见。作者报告了一例49岁女性，其左额颞区有一个巨大的海绵状畸形。它在几十年间逐渐增大，穿过颅骨延伸至硬膜外间隙，并接受了手术治疗。该病变可能起源于软组织或颅骨。本文回顾了身体各部位海绵状畸形的位置，并讨论了它们的生长机制。手术切除是首选的治疗方法。
