Background: Bone fibroids are very rare intraosseous benign lesions that generally affect craniofacial structures and onset between aged 10 and 15 years.
Case presentation: An 8-year-old patient was admitted with a history of skull trauma by a traffic accident 2 years ago, it is evidence of a mass in the right frontoparietal region of slow growth associated with intermittent global headache of one year duration. The neurosurgery service evaluates the patient with diagnostic imaging and considers candidate for surgical management of the lesion. With final report of pathology of juvenile ossicle fibroma trabecularis of skull in right frontal bone. This type of benign tumors are extremely rare.
Conclusion: Neuroimaging is the main tool to perform the diagnosis, and the most appropriate behavior is surgical resection, having a favorable prognosis. They are a challenge because the final diagnosis is provided by the histopathology study.
