Abstract
Cephalhematoma is more frequently associated with hard labor of infancy, but the incidence of ossified cephalhematoma is a rare clinical entity. This case report presents a 2-month-old infant with an ossified cephalhematoma who was treated successfully by excision. Cephalhematoma goes to an ossification process rather than a calcification one. Surgery should be used to shave off the ossified cephalhematoma.
