Abstract:
The bone formation accompanied with other diseases in brain has been rarely reported. Furthermore, it has not been reported without any specific disease. We report a case of a 27 year old female who was referred to our hospital because of the incidentally found calcified lesion in plain X-ray of the skull. The CT and MRI of the brain showed a calcification with minimal enhancement at left parietal area. The calcified lesion was removed and biopsy was performed with stereotactic guided craniotomy. Pathologically, the lesion was confirmed as the membranous bone which was composed of bony trabeculations with osteocytes and the biopsy from adjacent area to the bone revealed a gliosis without any other disease.
