Skull angiosarcoma associated with a calcified chronic subdural hematoma.

Angiosarcoma is an uncommon, aggressive endothelial-cell tumor that usually affects the skin, and involvement of the skull is rare. Here, we describe a case of skull angiosarcoma associated with a calcified chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). A very rare case of skull angiosarcoma associated with a calcified chronic subdural hematoma is presented. An asymptomatic subdural hematoma with an atypical history and radiological features should prompt further investigation. Contrast MRI images should to be obtained early to differentiate a subdural hematoma from other pathologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
