✦ Synopsis

The case of an asymptomatic 7-year-old girl with a hard bulge in the left forehead is presented. The radiological evaluation disclosed a hyperostotic mass with a large intracranial extension. A surgical specimen revealed a meningioma. The presence of a localized cranial bulge as the only sign of an intracranial tumor and the diagnostic value of computerized tomography (CT) are discussed.
