Intraosseous Hemangioma
#1
Good day!

I would like to ask about your Professional Advice for my girlfriend's Intraosseous Hemangioma.

These are the pictures:

   
   
   
   
   

She is 29 years old. And the lump on her head is noticed long ago, but her family considered it as a deformation during her birth. Not until December 2016 when she had a slip and her head bumped into the floor really hard where we had to undergo CT Scan.

One doctor considered it as a Intraosseous Hemangioma and suggested an operation to remove it. She doesn't have unbearable pain on the old lump but she has slight pain on the spot where she recently hit her head.

My question is, Is the operation the only treatment we can get?

Is it possible not removing the lump because according to research, it is benign and a slow growing tumor?

Also if ever the skull if removed, what will be its replacement?

How long would be the recovery and what will be the restrictions post operation?

Your advice will be of great help.

Go see a neurosurgeon, this isn't a webpage for medical advice.
