A member asked:

What sarcomas can you get on the frontal skull bone? can benign tumours be hard to spot on x rays?

Connective tissue...: Anywhere there is connective tissue, sarcomas may arise. The frontal bone would be a very unusual place for this tumor to be found; it's usually found clinically at the limbs. Most radiographic imaging can detect these neoplasms readily.
