“…The differential diagnosis of an intradiploic cranial lesion includes the aneurysmal bone cyst, dermoid cyst, cavernous hemangioma, Langerhans cells histiocytosis, fibrous dysplasia and eosinophilic granuloma [16] , [19] . Atypical lesions may be larger than 5 cm and irregular [1] .…”

HighlightsEpidermoid cysts are benign tumors -IEIC-that originate in the spine or intracraneally.Intradural compose 75% of epidermoid cysts and 25% are extradural in the diploic space—IEIC.These benign lesions although they are of low incidence, are seen very rarely in intradiploic locations and above all, of significant size, may produce significant mass effect in patients, which was initially tolerated because of its slow growth, however, they may become decompensate and cause intracranial hypertension syndrome.

“…1 The cysts have a central core of keratin in concentric layer, desquamated cells, water and cholesterol, lined with stratified squamous epithelium. 2 Continual processes of desquamation and degradation of cell membrane lead to cystic enlargement, therefore producing an insidious and protracted clinical manifestation. 1 Their most common presentation is a long-standing, painless lump on the head.…”

Posterior Fossa Intradiploic Epidermoid Cyst: A Case Report

Epidermoid cysts are rare, benign congenital tumours of ectodermal origin which typically present between the third to fifth decade. These tumours comprise approximately 0.2-1.8% of all intracranial tumours. Though these pearly tumours are potentially curable, subtotal resection may lead to catastrophic complications such as recurrence, granulomatous meningitis and carcinomatous degeneration of cyst wall. We herein report the case of a 36-year-old man who presented with an unusual mixed density posterior fossa epidermoid cyst on imaging studies. Total removal not only cures both tumour and seizure attack in this case but also preserves patient’s neurological function.

“…They generally occur in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) or in the parasellar cisterns [1]. Intracranial multicentric epidermoid cysts are an extremely rare occurrence [3].…”
