Abstract
Ossified cephalhematoma is a rare clinical entity and a pathological curiosity. Even though cephalhematoma is frequently encountered, ossified cephalhematoma is seen only sporadically and is restricted to only few case reports in the literature. Its pathogenesis is unclear, and the clinical course is different in neonates and juveniles. The risk factors are known, but why it gets ossified in some cases is not understood. We report a case of ossified cephalhematoma which developed in a 10-week-old male child in the right parietal region and discuss its possible pathogenesis.
