Abstract

We present a rare case of a 6-month-old female infant with a progressively enlarging, mildly painful swelling on the forehead over three months. Imaging studies revealed a mixed-density lesion extending externally through a frontal skull defect. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass along with cranioplasty using titanium mesh. Histopathology confirmed a mixed dermoid tumor with an osteoma component. The patient achieved full neurological recovery postoperatively. This case underscores the importance of early imaging and timely surgical intervention in congenital cranial masses.
