Learning objectives To illustrate various lesions involving scalp and skull in the pediatric age. To learn characteristic radiologic findings involving scalp and skull lesions in pediatrics. To provide the teaching points for the accurate differential diagnosis. Page 2 of 45
Background There are various lesions involving scalp and skull in the pediatric age. These lesions range from the congenital lesions such as dermoid and epidermoid, vascular lesions such as hemangioma or vascular malformation, benign and malignant tumors including primary and secondary lesions such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis, metastasis from neuroblastoma, and others including bone lesions such as osteoma, cephalhematoma, etc... Those lesions can be located in the scalp only, or calvarium or both of them. It is often difficult to provide correct diagnosis and requires to characterize these lesions for the differential diagnosis. Page 3 of 45
Imaging findings OR Procedure details We retrospectively reviewed CT and MR images of many diseases involving scalp and skull in the pediatric age. We tried to use most cases were proven by surgery. And we tried to show many cases if the same disease had the different sites (eg. skull or scalp or both of them involvements) or different disease state (simple or complicated or combined other disease). 1. Classification of scalp and skull lesion (Fig.1) Congenital -Dermoid and epidermoid-cephalocele - meningecephalocele, meningocele, atretic cephalocele-sinus pericranii Traumatic-Leptomeningeal cyst Inflammatory-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) Neoplastic-Lipoma, fibrous dysplasia, osteoma, osseous hemangioma, 2. Dermoid and epidermoid (Fig.2-20) Dermoid and epidermoid in general Consist of ectodermal inclusion that differ in complexity - Epidermoid - - made up solely of squamous epithelium-dermoid - include hair, sebaceous and glands Can occur inside the orbit, diploic space, intracranially (posterior and middle fossa) Epidermoids account for most cases 3. Dermoid 20% of calvarial lesions, Located at sutures - most common anterior fontanele Occur in newbones and children up to 3years Solitary mass with protruded mass beyond the calvarium CT & MR-Sometimes heterogeneous with varied SI, because of complex composition 4. Epidermoid Typically lateral located Page 4 of 45
Either extradural or intradiploic-intradiplic form may erose with sclerotic margin and scalloped appearance Mainly in parietal and temporal bones MR and CT-Similar to that of water (CSF)-Sometimes little bright SI on T1 3. Scalp and skull hemangioma and vascular malformation.(fig.21-23) Benign vascular mass with capillaries, venous and cavernous vascular channel CTCommonly outer table affected, while inner table is spared-typical lytic lesion with trabecular matrix, periosteal reaction "sunbeam' and sclerotic margin-typical hyperintensity on T, T2, and enhancement 4. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) (Fig.24-31) Primary calvarial lesion as well as masses Involving skull from intracranial and soft tissue mass. Punch -out inner and outer skull destroyed mass combined with enhancing mass 5. Osteoma (Fig.32-33) 6. Fibrous dysplasia (Fig. 34-37) Benignity with normal bone marrow replacement by proliferative fibro-osseous tissue with stroma and bone. Two form-monoostotic form - cranial and facial, hip, proximal femur, tibia-polyostotic - femur, tibia, hip and foot CT-classic "ground glass" appearance with expanded and enhancement. MR-heterogeneous SI on T2WI d/t fibro-osseous tissu, cellularity, cystic alteration 7. scalp myofibromatosis (Fig.38) Page 5 of 45

Conclusion Primary skull and scalp lesions are rare in the pediatric population. In general, these lesions present are lumps on head, with a broad-diferential diagnosis including congeniltal, inflammatory, traumatic, and neoplastic lesions. There are various lesions involving scalp and skull in pediatric age. This review can provide basic knowledge and differential diagnostic points using the CT and MR images. Epidermoid and dermoid are the most common lesions. Page 44 of 45
