A cranial intraosseous lesion is a rare disease with a limited number of subtypes. We report a case of a cranial intraosseous fibrous granulation that mimicked an intraosseous tumor. A 57-year-old man was incidentally found to have a cranial intraosseous lesion on brain computed tomography. Total resection was performed to establish a pathological diagnosis and to achieve cosmesis, and the pathological diagnosis was fibrosis and fibrous granulation in the medullary cavity. Fibrous granulation tissue occurs in the calvarium due to bone defects secondary to acquired factors, including trauma. Since its pathological diagnosis is established through surgery, surgery should be carefully considered based on the patient's chief complaint, location of the lesion, and suspicion of malignancy based on imaging findings.
