Abstract

A 5-year-old boy presented with diploic epidermoid tumor associated with subperiosteal hematoma caused by minor trauma. The tumor was removed completely together with the hemorrhage. Bleeding from this type of tumor is unusual, but should be considered as an indication for surgical removal.
