A case of cavernous angioma was reported. A 20-year-old woman was admitted because of 10 year's seizure episodes. Electroencephalography (EEG) in another hospital had shown high voltage slow waves in the right frontal area. This EEG abnormality progressed gradually. Brain scintigraphy, carotid angiography and computerized tomography revealed a tumor of the right frontal Robe. A craniotomy was performed and the tumor situated at the anterior part of the right cingular gyrus was removed totally without any neurological deficits.The tumor 3 cm in diameter, was well encapsulated and spongy containing fresh blood. Histologically, the tumor had many vascular cavities with the walls lined with a single layer of endothelial cells, had no glial cells between the vascular cavities and was diagnosed as a cavernous angioma. This was the first case of cavernous angioma among our experiences of 1,364 brain tumors. The characteristics of this rare tumor were also discussed with areview of 15 cases reported in Japan.
