Isolated calvarial lesion as the initial presentation of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature
Isolated calvarial lesions are rarely the initial presenting sign of metastatic HCC. Often, these lesions may be misdiagnosed as benign tumors, such as meningiomas or hemangiopericytomas, given their appearance on imaging. However, early identification of HCC skull lesions is crucial to initiating treatment, including resection, radiation, and immunotherapy, which may help improve symptoms and extend survival. Our case report adds to the limited literature on this exceedingly rare entity.
