PREFACE The literature is decidedly limited on the subject of Pnmary Tumors of the Caliana Except for 2 or 3 series of cares, onc usually finds case reports, and not cry many of these Infor mation concerning these rather rare lcions must be obtained in a precemcal manner by scarching through various text books deal ing with bone tumors roentgenology pathology and widely scattered articles in the literature There is a need for clinical consideration of the subject as a wholc. So it is thought worth while to place under onc cover the vanous clinical aspects of thesc tumors so dat this information will be more readily avail able This monograph contains a classification of calvarial tumors, together with their symptoms diagnosu and treatment Operative and nonoperative viewpoints are discussed A brief discussion of the rocntgenological findings and pertinent laboratory data is given Many case reports with illustrations are included The arrangement, as planned in the classification of tumors in the first chapter has been carned out in order of sequence through out the entire monograph Thc benign tumon are taken up first in the name order as listed in the table, the tumor like lesions are second in order and the malignant tumors are third This applies to the synopsis of cases as well as the arrangement of material case reports and illustrauons throughout the entire work Metastatic tumors of the calvaria, or involvement in a second ary manner, such as, in meningiomas are not mentioned except for reasons of differential diagnosis Tumors of the base of the skull such as, ethmoid groove ostcomas or epidermoid sinus tracts attending to intracranial epidermoid cysts, are not included Encephalocela are not conndered primary skull tumors The material comes from the Author's case records covering a period of over twenty years and includes our experenca in deal ing with more than forty nine case of primary tumors of the calvaria Only four cases of hyperostosis frontalis interna have yu been included in this study Many, many more cases are present in our case records Two cases of xanthomatosis were thought sufficient to Ulustrate thus leaon Two more have been found in the office records. The Author wishes to acknowledge the help of Dr Paul Ross who has worked with him on many of the cases, also for his kind nars and that of Drs Gerald Peterson and Harold Gordon in proofreading the manuscript De Sam Black has rendered loval uable and in the classification and histologic study of these cases Our collcagues, thc roentgenologists, Dry Bell, Douglas, Peterson and Blackburn at the office, and Drs Johnson and Maxwell at the hospital, were ever ready and willing to discuss and work out the details of their fields, far beyond the usual call of duty The and gived by our anesthesiologist, Dr J A Buhop and the ever dependable nursing service both in the operating room and on the floor, has beco gready appreciated Me Mary Weber my secretary worked pauently and faithfully in prepanng the manu script and to her I am indeed grateful Mr Lawrence Jelstra was especially helpful in correcting the proofs. I am thankful to my wife for her encouragement and understanding of the time and cffort required to gather together and write this work Mr Jack Haod prepared most of the ullustrations Last, but not least, the Author wishes to express bus sacerC appreciation and thanks to the Publishers for their ever helpful suggestions and guidance in the preparation of this work.

Chapter 1 GENERAL CONSIDERATION OF CALVARIAL TUMORS INCIDENCE PRINARI tumors of the calvaria are rather uncommon Per centagewase tumors seem to occur less frequently in bonc which 19 Ossified in membranc or primiuve connecuve ussue, such as the bones of the calvaria Case reports being scarce, the reports of a group or seria or cases are more difficult to find In one such group of cases, Van denberg and Coley found that benign tumor of the calvana comprised only 2.4% of a total of 1 580 bone tumors occurring in the body Geschichter found thu percentage to be even less in another sends of 500 cases It is quite likely however that these tumors occus more fre quently than the literature would indicate, for various reasons Alany amall osteomas need no care. They are observed indefinitely, and are neither operated nor reported This happens to many small tumors that grow slowly and cause few symptoms Searching through our records, we have found 44 cases of benign and 5 malignant primary tumor of the calvana In most instances they have come to us because of a pain or because of an enlargement somewhere over the head which is often referred to by the patient as a knot The incidence would be hugher than in a bone clinic where the leuon is found coincidentally when the patient is being studied generally or because of a bone tumor disewhere The incidence is higher in the office where the paucnt u referred because of a particular symptom rcferable to the head than would occur as normal percentage per thousand of average populace 3 4 Protary Tomas of us Colsona CLASSIFICATION OF TUMORS OF THE CALVARLA In outlining a classification of tumors of the calvania for clinical purposes, we wish to include along with the primary lesions, those tumors produced by general discase processes, if the incidence of the skull manifestation is relatively high in the symptom comple of the disease So this would include some lesions that are not neoplastic in nature 1 GENERAL DISCUSSION OF CASE SUMMARIES Statistically speaking the total number of tumors under con sideration not large enough to permit one to draw definite conclusions in regard to incidence as to age and sex However there may be sufficient evidence to suggest that the benign lemons occur more frequently in the female than in the male. In our group of 43 benign tumors, 72% occurred in the female. ln Van denberg and Coley's' series of 15 cases, 6639% occurred in fe males The average age was 38 years. The reverse is true in malignant cases, there being 80% of our cases in males In Vandenberg and Coley's series of 7 cases, 71% occurred in males The malignant tumors, as one would expect, occurred in the younger individuals It is interesting to note that in our series and in that of Vanden berg and Coley' the vast majonty of tumors occurred in the frontal bone The panctal ranked accond and the occipital a poor third Only 2 tumori affected the temporal bone Tumors of the base of the skull have not been included in the study The benign tumors, as a whole, were usually small Most of them had been discovered some months or years before consulting a physician The tendency for the lauon to grow alowly larger and in some cases to cause pain was the common reason for scel ing help The usual complaint was that they had a koot or bump, which was painful or sore and it was slowly getting larger Head ache was only occasionally mentioned and this especially if the dura was involved or the diploe expanded The malignant tumor were larger more painful and grew mort rapidly The pain was quite severe in some cases Had ache was more common and intracranial signs and symptoms were present depending upon the location and size of the legion CLASSIFICATION OF TUMORS I BENIGN TUMORS IIC.

It is then taken up in the hands and worked pounng some Ringet s solution over the gloved hands to prevent sticking In about 6 or 7 minutes it will begin to feel warm and taka on a workable doughy forma This u then molded into the defect over a piece of cottonoid that has been introduced to pro- Grmal Connda whor of Caltansol Tumors 11 F la Showing outer surface of plastic plate molded to fit akull defect.

Advantages de la relac Acrylique sur le tantale, Roo ol 85 527 535 1951 Chapter II BENIGN TUMORS OF THE CALVARIA We have chosen to include in this group Osteomas hemangiomas, giant cell tumors epidermoid cysts, traumatic cysts, chon dromas lipomas and ossifying tibromas. OSTEOMA We have placed osteomas first because they are the most com mon of all the turnon of the caliana The exact incidence is difficult to determine Many ostcoma go unnoticed, also many are not brought to a physician s attention when nouced It would seem that our figure of approximately 20% would be too low They have a tendency to occur in the frontal region': and decidedly more frequently in femala They do occur in all parts of the skull however including the basal area There are many kinds of bony growths' but the lasons thought to be neoplastic in character are usually considered as being spontancow, or possibly in some cases traumauc in origin In case of the calvaria, osteomas arise from the membranous bone and are very compact and cburnated They may be angle or multiple large or small, but slowly become programively larger It is thought that trauma may cause them to grow faster A rapidly enlarging tumor should be promptly removed The patient u most often a young female but ostcomas may occur in malo and older people. They usually complain of a knot or bump on the head that has slowly enlarged The losion may be smooth and round or irregular and flat The skin is mobile aer the mass and there is wually no reaction of the scalp and no indurauon or discoloration Very few complain of pain ten derness or headache It would seem that if they did not increast in size, very few patients would bother about thu tumor The roentgenograms shovy a well circumscribed dense lesion, that extends outward Only infrequently u the inner table de 13 14 Promary Toners of the Caloma pressed or the tumor protruding inwardly Often the toner table may be left intact at the time of removal of the tumor There is no separation of the tablas The diploic markings fade away, as doos the idenuity of the tabla in the arta involved by the tumor Somc large tumors present a spongy appearance Increased vascular markings are not observed There is an outward proliferation of bone and no absorption or erosion of bone. This u an import ant point of differential diagnosis from a meningioma. Menin gromas also produce proliferation of bone, but the proliferation 13 mostly inward Vascular markings are prominent and pressure signs are present. Spiculc formation is common in meningiomas, but rarely found in osteomas Hyperostosis frontalis interna is not difficult to distinguish from osteoma, because these lesions are less circumscribed usually bilateral and extend intracranially They usually occur in older patients Unless the osteoma has already grown to a large azc, or is growing rapidly one need not be in a hurry in deciding upoo removal The fact that they do steadily increase in uze makes their removal degrable, however this may be done at the patients convenience Thar frontal location makes them readily visible on many people Thc protruding nodulc or mas may be quite troublesomc to some patients They may extend into the frontal slous and at times block the outlet or cause other sinus problems. Thus we recommend that astconas be removed The method of remor al depends upon the type of laion and its location The usual sınall circumscribed tumor can be removed by rongeurs and burt leaving the inner table intact A cranioplastic repair usually is not necessary However if it were ad visable to remove the inner table with the tumor a tantaluo button or if larger a plastic plate can be molded into the defect. If the tumor is large, a bone flap is turned about it. The dura and subdural space is inspected carefully for tumor or scar and a plastic repair is made However we have found that in some cases the excessive tumor growth may be removed from the flap and the bone flap boiled for 20 minutes and then replaced in these cases it is better to reflect the pericranium along with the scalp flap so that nothing but the bone is boiled and replaced We have found that this procedure gives a very good end result Fig 2 Case 1 R occipital osteoma There is no reaction and a good fitung bone flap replacement is obtained One case, No 6 presented a rather unusual problem becaux of the size of the tumor (Please see later reference) CASE REPORTS In the report of all the cases to follow only the pertinent pos itive findings in the history physical neurological and laboratory cxamination are mentioned This is done to save needless repe tition of negative tests and examinations Case 1 G M J ſeriale, age 31 seen in 1957 because of a lump 1 in. in diameter in the right occipital area. It was first noticed in 1949 and had been growlog slowly since There had been no pain, but headaches of undetermined ongin were present. Roentgenograms showed an area of increased density with Ixonc proliferation extending 4 nm above the surface of the skull. The diploe was les distinct and there was a tendency for the 2 tables to lose their identity Neurologic examination was cnurely nor Inal, to observation was recommended at the tinc So far rc moval has not been necessary 16 Pristaty Txonors of the Cecama Fig 3 Core 4 R occlpltal osteoma.

A small nene passed directly over the tip of this lenon. It wus sectioned There have been no further complaints from the patient, and she has beca observed at yearly intervals, Case 5 B. LB female, agc 22, nus seen in 1955 because of lump 2 x 1 cm in the right frontal arca. It had been noticed 3 y can previously and had grown slowly It was not tender and caused no pain Tangenual films showed a protrusion of 6 cm from the skull surface outward A burt was used to grind this tumor down to the loner plate The defect was sucerized a piece of gelfoam placed in it and the scalp closed io layers. There has been no cudence of further trouble from this lalon Case 6 J B., ſemals, age 36 has seen in 1948 because of a bump in the nght frontal area It was nouced Keral yan before and had caused no discomfort, but was gradually becom ing larger At this tune it measured 6 x 6 cm and protruded approdnately 1 cm. from the surface of the skull The under table was slightly depressed A xalp flap wa reflected within the hair lpe, including all of the pericranium, except that oner 18 Primary Toners of the Cologna the tumor A bone flap was then turned about the tumor With chuel and rongeun the protruding tumor was remooved level with the surface. Then the flap was boiled for 20 minuta. Dur ing this time it was noted that the outer layer of the dura was Lightly involved but the underlying brain was not affected. The bone flap was cooled and replaced and the scalp closed over it. Healing and convalescence were normal and subscquent ob krvations since revealed the fact that the bone flap served as a good osteoplastic repair The bone flap fits perfectly is grong and boiling destroys the tumor cells.

In May 1958 this lesion was removed with burr and rongeun. The nodulc protruding into orbital cavity was re moved It consisted of dense eburnated bone No repair of the skull was necessary and the contour of the supraorbital ndge was muntained Had thus tumor teen much larger and destroyed the supraorbital ridge a much more difficult problem of repair would have followed Thus it is well to remove them carly in thu location, before they have attained a large uze and involved the orbital ridge or the orbital cavity to any extent.

The intracranial structura have seldom been involved HEMANGIOMAS These occur less frequently in bones than in soft tissue Ac cording to Wykg, ' of 4 449 ncoplasms of bone, as luted in 3 series of cases, there were only 36 or 0 7% hemangiomata After a thorough search of the literature, he found that henangioma of the skull represented about 02% of bone neoplarms There are 2 primary benign hemangiomas of the calvania, the cavernous and the capillary types The capillary type occun vcry infrequently It u more destructive, may be multiple and may produce symptoms of intracranial involverpent as in the case of Haudousa Holmes and Sweet' think that the cavernous type may result from the confluence of the capillary conglomerates in ther 4 cases the tuber-frontalls was the arca Involved It is also the primary ossification center They thought this to be ugnificant In Toynbce s original case, there was a tumor in cach parietal He also suggested that there may be some antociation bearca 22 Arnar Tumors of the Caloans Flg 7.

There u no hyper togus Spreading of the 2 tables may occur with noticeable Thus u grcater in the outer than in the inner table In far advanced cases the outer tablc may be paforated but this is infrequent The inner table is low frequently penetrated than the outer table, consequently the dura is not likely to be involved The above findings, involving the parietal bone in a female in CTOJOn 24 Primary Tumors of the Coloana the fourth or fifth decade of life, would strongly suggest a cavernous hemangioma These lesions gradually become larger, cause more headache, and some belicvc may even become malignant" We have no information or evidence which supports this idea However, it would seem that removal of the tumor surgically, offers a utot factory method of handling these cases Roentgenotherapy aloze or after surgery, has been used Surgery presents a definite ding nosis and removal under direct vion after the identity of the tumor us known One also escapes the effect of roentgenotherapy upon the deeper structures A cranioplastic repair an be donc at the sainc setting, thereby obviating a second and later round of surgery When exposed the tumor appears bluish in color with a hard shiny layer of bone forming the outer covering Bencath this outer layer the honeycombed bone is found Using a sucker" one can completely cmpty the small honeycomb compartments and get a good view of its formation Thu part of the tumor is soft and can be removed with a curet or burr down to the inner part of the inner table. Sometimes the tumor has attended between the tables considerably farther than the rocntgenograms would inde cate The texture of the bone, as indicated by the rongeur bite, will help determine the lateral limits of the tumor Usually a burr rongeur and curet will be all that is needed for the removal of the hemangioma Bone wax will control the bleeding placed on the burr while burng through the vascular part. Some choose to remove the lesion by bloc resection In this case a bonc flap is turned about the periphery of the tumor If thus is done, it is well to take into consideration that oftentimes tumor tissue extends far out between the 2 tables away from the raised and honeycombed central part We have used roentgenotherapy in some cases, but more espe, cially the capillary type In these lesions, therapy u repeated at intervals The gross appearance is typical As mentioned before, the honey combed area corresponds to the radiolucent arca seen by direct roentgenographic examination When the pericranium and, if present the thun outer table us removed the lesion can be emptied It can be 25 Benign 7 Kotors of the Celtmı П; 8а ь External view of hemangioma showing honeycomb appearance (Courtesy B.

There is more involvement of the inner table than the outer table. There u some sclerons of bonc about the periphery suggesting that it may have been prexent for an appreciable length of time He then fuggented a diagnosis of an epidermold c# She had suffered a rather severe injury to the head in 1941 46 Primary Tumors of the Callane At surgery we found a leptomeningeal cyst. The thin outer shell of hard bone was removed exposing a cavity filled with cerebrospinal flud The inner table was absent. There was a dural opening about 1 cm, in diameter attending into the pub arachnold space, and through which some Large blood tasels protruded Cerebrospinal flurd ebbed and flowed with orch pulsation The blood vessels were replaced beneath the anach noid and the dura was repared unng a flap from the outer layer A piece of gelfoam was placed in the cavity and a plastic plate molded to fit the skull defect In the past 3 year she had done very well The old headache has gone and she has resumed her usual household functions. Case MF age 4 months first seen August 5 1958 because of a lump on the back of the head It was noted immediately after birth, at which time it was soft. Slace, it bad gradualh become maller hard and fixed. It was 4 x 3 cm in diameter and protruded about 1 cm abond the surface of the skull in the nght parietal area. It was not tender and the scalp was readily movable over it. Roentgenograms showed a bony projecuon in the nght par Ictal arca, which seemed to bave developed over the outer table of the calvana It was 3 x 4 cm. in dlameter and extended above the outer table 1 cm. The outer table was distinct and was not depressed There was an area of decreased density between the outer table and the dense outer layer of the tumor which was thicker than the skull and appeared almost as dense. The layer of decreased deosity between represented part of the betruktora that had not yet become calcified and may well in the future have become cystic and develop into a typical traumatic subpericranlal cyst. the perkranium wu reflected from the tumor There was a blue discoloration of the entire tumor The hard glistening outer layer was completely removed with rongeurs Each bite produced fresh brisk bleeding Bone wax was used after cach bite to control bleeding This blue vocular bony outer Layer wus removed exponing a normal under layer of bone.

Apparently from the history given its development had extended over a period of 25 years Copeland' stata that chondromas are seldom multiple, and are usually found in the small bones of the hands and fect, the sternum spine and ribs, and occasionally in the long bonos Coley sl: diagram shows the distribution of 24 casas They grow slowly but may become quite large in time Thae is little discomfort or pain On examination the lesion may seem much harder than when exposed at surgery There may be a tendency to gain the impression from palpation that the tumor might be an osteoma Also there is a tendency for the chaician to group these lesions with benign osteochondromas I have en countered the latter in the parasellar region of the head They tend to develop in the basılar areas Chrondromas are benign but invasive, and definitely retur after incomplete removal Some may undergo malignant changes. Complete study of the specimen removed should be made befort ruling out malignancy Roentgenologically they produce a radiolucent effect, and many tima a cystic appearance If sizable, there will be a soft tissue shadow outlining the tumor lo the case reported below there was both an area of decreased density of the skull and a large raft tissue shadow Lichtenstein" stresses the importance of spotty calcification or a calcific stippling within the translucent art..

It was encapsulated with turue moving freely over it The rocntgenograms showed a hazy area of decreased denuty with some areas of spotty calafication Tangential films showed a large tissue shadow representing the protruding tumor There was no increased vascularity e had been fonnerly noted the laon was firm but not hard It was an encapsulated nodular pearly while tumor about 6 x 7 cm in its greatest diameter It was removed with a sharp chisel after which a burt was used to remove the involved bone, which we thought to be the panctomastoid region. Part of the parietal bone and a portion of the posterior margin of the mastold bone was involved It was not necessary to re move the inner table The microscopic secuons showed closely packed cells, with ome rounded nuclei, definitely distinct cartilage cells. In mome urcas the cells were more carcc and the intercellular substance appeared collagenous. The pathologist Lindly checked the alldas of 1939 and found the appearance to be crentially the same, except the latter was a little more anaplastic. Both were benigol To date the lenon has not recurred OTHER BENIGN TUMORS In this category we have choseo to place primary lipoma and ostcogenic fibroma These tumors occur very infrequently in the skull but should be mentioned nevertheless LIPOMA Lipomas may develop anywhere that one can find fatty tisuc They may occur within the head along the brain stem the hypothalamus the corpus callosum and inside the ventricles We have renoved them from within the dura in the lower lumbar arta They infrequently occur within the medullary canal of long bona Smith and Feinberg's recently reported a case of intrucoscow Lipoma of the fibula and stated that only 1 other intraoscous upoma lad been reported in this country

52 Primary Tumors of the Caloana been permitted to use this rare and remarkable case of primary lipoma of the calvara This patient ſemals, age 42 was first seen by Dr Davis in 1935 A man had first been noted in the leſt frontal urca in 1915 In 1921 it was removed but gradually grew back, until in 1935 it measured 6 5 cm in diameter and protruded 15 cm. from the skull surface. It was firm throughout, acept the vertas, where there was a soft irregular area possibly the former oper ative defect. There was no evidence of increased intracranial pressure, or focal ugns of cerebral dysfunction The roentgeno grams showed a large area of increased density sotne bone proliferation and some bone datruction At operation it was found that the tumor had growo through the skull at the soft spot over the tumor vertex Burr bolos were placed about the periphery of the tumor Here the skull was almost an inch thick and quite vascular The bone and tumor were removed The dura was intact The bruin »eneath was not involved. The tumor was encapsulated yellow but not lobulated The operator mentioned in the operative note that it resembled fat, although he did not know at the time it was a fatty tumor Macroscopic studies showed thus tumor to be a typical lipoma OSSIFYING FIBROMA Osafying fibroma is mentioned by Copeland!

Chapter III TUMOR LIKE LISIONS OF THE CALVARIA (DUE TO GENERAL DISEASE PROCESSES) llchait chosen to place in this category those tumors produced by general discasc processes of the incidence of the skull maniſestauons is relatively high in the symptom compler of the docase. In tlus group we have included cosinophilic granulomas, Xanthomatosus, fibrous dysplasia Pagets discase, leontianus ossca and hyperostosus frontalis interna Ilso, onc could include craniolabos of Ricketts, cranial changes in Gaucher s disease, osteopor osus circumscripta osteius fibrosa cystica, and syphilitic skull in volvement. The latter group does not represent as much a local camal problem as a general systemic problem which w usually more compelling than the incidental cranial lauon Also thc cranial manilatation of these diseases needs no particular local form of treatment years or matosus EOSINOPHILIC GRANULOMA In 1940 Otani and Ehrlich' first applied the term cosinophilic granuloma to the lesion involving the skull It is characterized by a single or multiple punched-out arcas of lesser density usually ID females below 30 age The cause is unknown but several wnters: associate this lesion more or less with xantho- Clinically the 2 diseases present an entirely different symptom complex The symptoms, age, incidence and the skull pattern of the 2 respective lesions are enurely different except for an occasional casc, such as reported by Swaine and Williams - The course of the 2 diseases is different as one can note from compani son of the casos luted below Knighton and Fox' thought it to be a prunary disease of the reticuloendothelial system Shuster and Flynn' inclined toward the infectious ongin 55 56 Primary Tumors of the Coloana plain of The patient is usually a female In our cases, 50% were female The majority of the patients are in carly adult life. They corn pain and sortness over a local area, most often the panctal region This is due to the fact that there is a tendency for this lesion to grow outwardly and involve the percranium and even the muscles, or at times the dura' inwardly We have noticed on increase in the eosinophils in the blood count. In our cases, the patient has not been ill and has not presented systemic or general complaints as in cases of xanthomatosis Roentgenologically, the lesion presents an irregular punched out area of decreased density, with no increased calcification or eburation about the borders It may suggest a metastatic lesion, especially if there are multiple arcas Other bones of the body may be involved There is no sunburst appearance on tangentul views, as in the case of a hemangioma These lesions are usually smaller than hemangiomas, when first seen It may be that they cause pain earlier A soft tissue shadow may be seen if the lesion has extended beyond the outer table They are much dufferent from the large multiple map-like configurations of Schuler-Chnt tian , Ducase The late Clyde McNeil' noted a double shadow which he thought characteristic of the disease. This he attributed to different degree of involvement of the 2 tables of the skull At surgery one finds a granulomatous laion confined beneath the pericranium or perhaps growing through into the soft trores. We have seen it invade the temporal muscle qute extenuvely Also it may involve the dura or extend through the dura and producc adhesions or direct cerebral involvement.' The gross specimen may be cystic in places and may have hemorrhagic arcas, but u soft and does not have the honcycombed sponge-rubber cffect of the hemangioma It is less vascular Microscopically the diagnosu u not difficult. There are foamy appeanog large mononuclear cells with cosinophils xattered or in clumps There may be some plasma cells and lymphocytes. Later connective tissue and new bone formation may be seen We feel that a diagnosis cannot at times be made without a biopsy Also there us dural and intracranial involvement at times. Consequently surgical removal of these tumor is advuable. Co The 1s510ns of the Calrarse 57 tainly remor al and plastic rcpur will clicct a curc Somc advise doing nothing Some suggest nadiotherapy The surgical plan wc cmploy is to rcmort tic losion with a curct and sharp dissection, including any of the scalp uiat is in volved Thic dura is saved, if porubic, but the tumor issue is remored Additional bone is removed with rongeurs if necessary, and a plastic repair of the skull is fitted in place In this study of cases, tliere were 6 patients with cosinophilic granuloma or about 12% of the total The lesion occurred most frequently in the panctal arca There were no multiplc lesions In 3 of the 6 cases the losion had invaded the soft tissue of the scalp and the dura in 2 casos Pain was more prominent and more severe in these cases, probably because the tumor more frequently involved the scalp and dura Elevated cosinophil count was noted in most of the cases lo other systemic changes were noted CASE REPORTS Case 1 RM W male, age 21 was referred in 1942 because of headache for 6 months and becaux of a knot 162 cm in the nght occipital arca The mass was tender on prexure. Roent gcaograms revealed an area of decreased dendty with shelf like margins. The outer table of the skull was destroyed We do not know what Ixecame of this patient. Case 2. CA C female, age 29 was ten by us in 1952 kc cause of pain in the right parietal area There wu a very tender palpable nodule that the patient had nouced for 5 wechs.

It wa 15 x 2 cm in dunncter TheTC WAS One small flcck of bone in the central portion of the dcfect that had not been completely absorbed The roentgenologut thought it was characteristic of an conn ophilic granuloma There were 2 cosinophils and the redumenuation rate was 20 Ribs, heart and lungs were normal At purgery the tumor was encountered out in the galan. It was repoved with sharp dissection and curet down to the dura A tantalum button was fitted in the defect The pathologic report was that of an coanophilic granuloma A yearly follow up since has revealed no further complalat:

Sosman'' and Dan son't suggested that trauma or infection may be causative agents in stimulating local lipoid deposits It is characteristic of this disease to occur in early chudhood and most often in males Exophthalmos, diabetes insipidus and changes in the skull represent the classical symptom triad of the disease. Other bones of the body may be involved The involve ment of the retrobulbar arca and the hypothalamic area produces the exophthalmus and the water imbalance These changes are reversible however, because after minimal dores of roentgeno therapy normal water balance returns and the сус recedes The prognosu is good if the ravages of the disease can be held in check unul puberty while the reverse is true in those cases starting after puberty or in adult life Usually both tables of the calvana are completely eroded The scalp over the defect is clevated but the margins of the body defect can be canly palpated There is some tenderness The mic of the defects vary from a few millimeters to several centimeten in diameter The irregulanty of the large lesions accounts for the map-like configuration that is characteristic of this type skull erosion vascular spaces The microscopic findings are easily recognized and diagnoos not difficult Histiocytes loaded with fat are found in the pen New connective tissue invasion occurs, with fibrous and foreign body grant cell reaction Foam cells are found in the marrow spaces of the bone Atrophy and degeneration of the invaded bonc develops because of the massive accumulations of foam cells in the marrow spaces It has been thought that fat cells would not invade the bonc tisue Weedrnand and Freeman't considered nerve tissue as being re fractory in lipoid invasion kyrkland'' and Henschen?' found Twinske Issions the Calraria 63 + ។ Tig 29 Cas1 Lanthomatisk showing proptouts. lipoid changes in thic hypothalamus.

Females are affected more frequently than males Coley" suggested that it is akeletal developmental anomaly characterized by angle or multple areas of fibrous tissue in bone Schlumberger thinks that the single leon may represent a response to injury to the bonc In his report of 67 cases, he noted that the nbs were the most often affected The skull was involved in only 8% of his cares Lichtenstein" noted that the average duration of symptoms in his cases was 20 усал This would indicate that the symptoms are not revere and that the lemon is usually not discovered carly Timor-toke lestons of the Celoos 67 in the course of the discase Perhaps in those cases affecting the skull the local cnlargement or nodulc is noticed more readily than when located on a nil) or other well coi cred bones of the body There may be a single lesion called a monostotic tumor, or muluple lesions called polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, if more than one boncus involved The former is more common The latter is often associated with otlier systemic changes, such as skin pig mentation and precocious sex development In 1937 Albright" and associates were first to describe as an cnuty tlic disturbance now known as 'Albaghts Brown-spot Syn drome, or disseminated fibrous dysplasia with cutancous mani festation and sexual precocity The skull is often involved in this type of casc, and presents a problem secondary to systemic in volvement elsen here We will not further claborate on thu type of disturbance In some cases of polyostoric types, and in most cases of mon ostotic types, and particularly where the skull alone is involved there may be 1 or morc lesions but there is not an associated systemic disturbance with skin discoloration or sexual precocity There may be 2 or more laions in the same bone and still be a monostouc lesion A polyostotic loon refers to lesions involving more than 1 bonc The lesions may be of variable size, depend ing on how carly it is discovered Some sorenes us present over the raised arca and there is tenderness on pressure. Roentgenograms show a rarefied well demarcated radiolucent lauon associated with thickening and sclerosis in places, while at other arcas, erosion may be noted A multilocular appearance, an cystic, is often seen and at time it u difficult to differentiate it from a cystic tumor If the sclerotic changes predominate, it is sometimes difficult to rule out a bony tumor A biopsy may be required in some of the solitary lauons in order to make a diag nosis We think that at this time, if the frozen secuon proves the laion to be fibrows dy plana, that one should be prepared to remove the entire lesion and mold a plastic plate into the defect.

Roentgenograms showed an area of increased density with altered texture in the bone forming the lateral margin of the left orbit The zygomatic proces and orbital plate wert alvo involved A tangential view showed , localized bulge in the frontal bonc, which was evidently due to an overgrowth of rather thinly trabeculated bone. In the area of the bulge the tabla were thin. The outer table was expanded and the diploic space was widened with an altered texture. Medially the disturbance extended to the margin of the frontal sinw. The superior orbital nm was flattened and there was alight downward encroachment upon the space of the orbit. There was increased prominence of the lateral margin of the base of the zygomatic process.

It 18 helpful in time, other pain relieving desica and medication may be needed Eventually and not too long afterwards they succumb with metastases to the lungs and other bones of the body CASE REPORTS Case 1 RS male age 15 year, was referred in November 1957 Because of a proptosis of the nght cys mas in the right frontal irca and headache. These symptoms had begun about 3 months previously at which time he had fallen off a bicycle injuring this area BP 150/100 At 15 years he was 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 182 pound.. General physical examination showed an al normally large box and rather olxex, with normal findings except for those factors relative to the nght frontal area Thatc was no increased pressure or local neurologic signs. The cyc was proptosed and displaced mewlward and upward There were 2 distinct and xparate masses, alvout the size of a lime in the right frontal area 86 Primary Toons of the Coloana Roentgenogram showed the 2 arcas to be somewhat doner than the surrounding dull Both were elevated above the outer table. There were some regions of decreased denuty There was thichening and increased dennity of the zygoma, the orbital roof and the lower wing of the sphenaid It was evident that we were dealing with a angle tumor presenting varying degree of dennty bone proluferation and destruction At gurgery the involved frontal bonc and elevated mases were removed with rongeurs. Then the orbital plate, parts of the Zygoma temporal bone and part of the laster wing of the spberrond bone were removed with rongeun and curct. Some of this foruc was quite soft and some quite hard Bleeding vaned connderably throughout verious areas of the tumor The pathological report indicated there were about 70 gm of tumor sent to the laboratory Large areas of the tumor were composed of fibrous type tissue. The aucla were ungular vary iog moderately in uze and staining properties. A modaatc amount of mitosis was observed. There were many areas in which the tumor was ostcold and bone was present which had the appearance of being tumor bone. Cartilage cells were also prexent in some portions of the tumor Other areas showed flbroblastic turuc, which appeared to be directly producog ostead Diagnout was osteogeak arcoma Subsequently the patient continued in school. His cye had returned to its normal position He was contented nod felt well. In April, about 4 months later pain became a matter of concern. It was mostly in the maullandistribution At this point we wished that a posterior root section had been done at the time of the tumor surgery because it would have saved him another operation. Thu prin became * acute that the patient readly agreed to have the posterior root of the 5th nerve sectioned. Thu again gave him relief for 4 more months. The rubsequent rection of the posterior root has certainly been worthwhile, even though a bilateral mosul frontal lobe section has since been necessary to control an apprehensive and emotional state An cnlargement of the right side of the face was quite pouceable when last seen, and it is evident that the tumor has continued its growth in the base of the skull and lace.

This was estimated to be about 10 uma larger than the original tumor removed 5 months before and 4 times larger than the tumor removed 2 months previous to our contact with the patient. The patient was emaciated cacheuc and showed evidence of a chronic illnes. There was a secondary anemia Rocatgcnoframs of the chest did not rei cal a metastasis and on general a amination none was found clsew here The lesion did not sem to produce intracranial pressure and there were no focal peu rologie ogas. Roentgenograms of the head showed a large radiopaque man in the right parleto-occipital Area The protruding tumor con tuned a large amount of Osscous ussue with radiating spicula etlending perpendicular to the skull The shull was involved brut the tumor did not appear to extend loto the cranial cavity There 90 Primar Tumors of the Coloana was a trangular defect in the tumor mars, which appeared to be due to previous surgical removal of bone At this time, 2,200 r were given through each of 2 portals. For 2 months be improved. In July 1 week before he died hc had difficulty swallowing and vomited frequently which may have been due to his cachetic state, or a terrainal development of intercranial pressure. Excerpts of postmortem findings There is evidence of marked cachexia, emaciation and dehydration. A max 15 cm, 10 duam cter protruded from the right paneto-occipital arca There art no lymph gland enlargements noticeable. No flud in pentoncal or pleural cavities. Pericardial cavity normal Gros camina ton reveals many calcified larons near the periphery in both lungi. They range up to 1 cm in diameter Liver weghu 800 gm. The heart, ladncyı, GI trace, pancreas and adrenals did not show gross or microscopic evidence of metastas. Mediastinum andre troperitoncal spaces were searched and no lymph node enlarge ment found Permission was not granted for a head craniannon Microscopic camination of the nodes and vixccra did not reveal metastases anywhere, except the lung. It was nccemary to decalcify the lesions in the lung before sectioning They pre sented Acoplastic time consisting of many uregular cells with vaned shaped hypochromatic nucle These, in many instances, produced definite osteoid tissue CHONDROSARCOMA Chondrosarcoma of the skull is a very rare tumor It occurs more frequently in the basal area, and almost never in the cal varia as a primary tumor Secondarily it may complicate Paget: discake, or arise from a chrondroma, which in the vault, occurs very infrequently (sce p 26 Chondromas) This lonon tends to occur in adults, grows more slowly as a whole, than ostcogenic sarcoma Yet it is almost invariably fatal Sometima surgery will prolong life Irradiation is used separately or with surgery Both give little more than tenporary relief In Krantas CAK both were wed and the patient died 20 months later because of masuve intracranial extension of the tumor Ordipanly metastases or spread occurs by extension along croded venous channels, or by the blood stream.

Complete studies by an interaust gave normal findings including chest films, electrocardio grams, pyclograms, tum phosphatase, etc There was no focal central neruusistem involvemens, and no evidence of peripheral motor or sensory changes, except the subjective symptoms of pain When again examined on July 1 1954 slight motor utalnom was found in the left lower extremity There was an indefinite level of hypalgesia at T 7 on the right. There was an asociated temperature loss, also Deep reflexa were slighth increased in the left lower extremity Balinsh, Gordon and Oppenheim were absent. Lamioagraphs showed a tumor in the postenor medias finum and slightly to the left The 5th intervertebral foramen was mlarged and there was evidence of destruction of bone tueue On July 9 1954 in association with a thoracic surgeon, the chest was opened on the left side l» removal of thc 5th nb and atending the inctuon ſar posteriorly A tumor nodule the size of a lime, was found at the 5th inter ertebral foramen, and another the size of a hazelnut Lxneath The transverse processes, the pedicles and portion of the laminac of the 5th and 6th vertebrae were remoed The lone was invaded in the tumor In place it was soft and quite vascular After exposure was completed the tumors were removed The dura had not been invaded All abnormal looking soft and bonc it 92 Primor Thors of the Calvara tissue was removed Thus finally included part of the posterior and Lateral portions of the body of the 5th thoracic vertebn Symptomatically the patient did well. He was frec of pain, the motor and sensory functions returned to normal. He continued to work and had few complaints. Repeat roentgenograms of the thorace spune 6 months later showed hone regencratico in r 5 and T-6 vertebrae. Subsequently roentgenograms were taken of the entire skeletal system. Poorly defined irregular areas of decreased dennt were found in midpanctal and right paneto-occipital region A radiolucent datructive process involved the manubrium. There was a vague, poorly defined area of decreased density in the right side of the RCUIT The cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine were aegative, atcept for the precious finding of bone regencrados at site of the removal of the tumor at T 5 and T-6 The lungs were not involved The 5th rib had partly regenerated. The long bones were negative. In April 1955 the 2 lesions of the akull were exposed. solt tumor time was found under the pericranium and extended through the skull to the dura, where it spread out between the dura and skull The involved akull and tumor tigue were rcmoned Again, the tumor was very vascular The pain and headache were relieved after the removal of the tumors of the skull, and did not return throughout the re mainder of his diseax, although before he opired, a little over a year later the cranial tumors had reappeared In October 1955 teodernow was noted over the right croiluc region, and roentgenograms shon ed a mall area of deutruction in the right sacroiliac area A few weeks later stoptom of cord 15volverneut at T4 level developed Tumor has removed from the right sectoillac region and through a laminectomy an extra dural mox removed at T-4 level Agun, the tumor HU VETV vascular and again the mucroscopic findings were all similar to the tumor responed before.

ADDENDUM This recent case of intradiploic imumauc cyst in an 8 weeks old infant, has just becn seen and has been added because it is a classical representation of this type of lesion MA 11., 8 wechs of age first seen in June 1959 because of a lump on the right side of the head noticed immediately after birth It had not changed in sızc, and now was very firm yet for a short ume after birth there was somc fluid directly overlying the mass. Roentgenograms showed an area of increased density measunng 5 x 5 cm and extending outward from the normal contour of the skull approximately 142 cm. The tangential view revealed a dense outer plate, while the remainder of this mas appeared cystic, with a few radiopaque areas interspersed The inner table was intact. At operation the outer table was removed cxposing a grayish/ yellow soft fibrous mass which could be curetted away from the inner table. The outer table was removed complctely the inner tablc was left intact The sections of this soft material revealed well-organized fibrous tissue, and scattered throughout thu tissue werc areas of hemosiderin pigment It was considered an organized intradiploic hematoma 107
