Abstrakt:	Calvarial lymphoma is radiologically similar in many respects to meningiomas, solid fibrous tumours, osteomyelitis, and metastatic carcinomas. Even though it is an extremely rare phenomenon, the initial suspicion and detection of calvarial lymphoma are paramount to establishing a correct diagnosis which helps to determine an appropriate management strategy. We present an illustrative rare case of primary calvarial lymphoma along with a literature review focusing on the best management strategy for this rare entity. A 45-year-old female presented to our center in March 2022. She had a history of forehead swelling, which was progressively increasing in size over time. The metastatic workup and bone marrow biopsy were negative. Initially, extensive surgery was planned to resect the lesion, but after a discussion with the multidisciplinary team, a biopsy of the lesion was taken, which revealed a large B-cell lymphoma. It is prudent to consider calvarial lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of a progressively growing skull lesion, which may obviate the need for large resective surgery. A biopsy plus chemoradiation may be all that is required. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2024, Abdoh et al.)
