  "abstract": "Osseous Hemangiomas (OH) are benign vascular lesions of the skeleton. They are mostly seen in the craniofacial bones but rarely noted in the appendicular skeleton. OHs in the long bones usually present with pain, swelling in the soft tissues, or pathological fractures. We report an uncommon case of an asymptomatic OH of the femoral head in a 56-year-old woman, detected incidentally during imaging following a fall. The OH had typical radiological characteristics on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, which was managed conservatively with clinical and radiological surveillance. At 6-month MRI follow-up, the lesion remained stable without progression. At 18-month clinical follow-up, the patient remained pain-free, mobilized independently without walking aids, and had no limitation in her activities of daily living. OH of the femoral head are exceedingly rare. Recognition of their typical imaging features may facilitate a non-invasive diagnosis and avoid an unnecessary biopsy or surgical intervention. We also provide a brief review of the literature to highlight the clinical and radiological spectrum of this uncommon entity.",
