Zusammenfassung::  Meningothelial hamartomas represent a collection of meningothelial elements in an ectopic location. Lesions are histologically characterized as a proliferation of connective tissue elements and small‐ and medium‐sized vessels admixed with meningothelial elements. Lesions are most often located on the scalp, present at birth, and do not extend past the subcutis. We discuss the case of a 9‐year‐old African American girl presenting with one such lesion on the parietal aspect of the scalp.
