What are skull bone tumors?
Skull bone tumors affect the bones that form the skull's skeletal structure. They can be benign, such as osteomas, or malignant, such as osteosarcomas. Although rare, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
Symptoms
Symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. Some patients may notice lumps in the skull, localized pain, swelling, or even neurological problems if the tumor affects nearby structures.
Diagnosis
Imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to identify the presence of tumors and assess their impact on surrounding structures. In some cases, a biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the type of tumor. For benign tumors, surgery is usually sufficient to completely remove them. In malignant cases, it may be necessary to combine surgery with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Dr. Tomasz Gliniewicz, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team at Vithas Hospital, designs personalized plans to ensure the best results.
