Figure 1
(a) Axial plain CT shows a focal bony swelling at the external occipital protuberance. (b) Axial CT reveals gross enlargement of the lesion showing an expansile lytic tumor involving the occipital bone with a coarse bony matrix. Erosion of inner and outer table of skull vault is present. (c) Axial T2-weighted MRI shows a heterogeneously hyperintense lesion with hypointense borders. (d) Unenhanced sagittal T1-weighted MRI shows a hypointense lobulated mass which shows (e) intense post-contrast enhancement. (f) Follow-up CT shows complete excision without recurrence. CT = Computed tomography, MRI = magnetic resonance imaging

Photomicrograph shows anastomosing, mainly thin-walled vascular channels lined by a single layer of flattened to plump endothelial cells amidst the bony trabeculae (hematoxylin and eosin (H and E), ×400)
