Abstract
Intraosseous neurinoma is very uncommon tumor. Its location in the skull is extremely rare. A 4-year-old boy presented with a lump in the right occipi tal region. Computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass with bony erosi on in the right occipital bone. The solid, nontender, and immobile mass was totally removed. The pathological examination showed that it was an intrao sseous neurinoma. Total resection of intraosseous neurinomas is sufficient treatment and is not followed by recurrence.
