Malignant transformation of intracranial epidermoid cyst with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis: case report.
INTRODUCTION Although rare, the malignant degeneration of epidermoid cysts is well documented. Its occurrence with leptomeningeal dissemination and malignant cells in CSF is scarce. To the best of our knowledge only four cases have been reported. CASE REPORT The authors report the case of malignant transformation of an epidermoid cyst with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (which simulates asepti...
متن کاملMalignant Transformation Six Months after Removal of Intracranial Epidermoid Cyst: A Case Report
Intracranial epidermoid cysts are uncommon benign tumors of developmental origin; malignant transformation of benign epidermoid cysts is rare, and their prognosis remains poor. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in the cerebellopontine angle. A 52-year-old man presented with left facial paralysis and cerebellar ataxia. He had undergone total removal of a benign epidermoid cyst ...
متن کاملMR Imaging of a Cerebello-Pontine Angle Epidermoid Cyst with a Malignant Transformation: Case Report
nial tumors and are histologically benign (1). A case of the transformation of an epidermoid cyst into a malignant squamous cell carcinoma has seldom been reported (2-7). The malignant transformation may have occurred from pre-existing epidermoid cysts or after the incomplete excision of an epidermoid cyst (5). The treatment of the malignant transformation of an epidermoid cyst varies from surg...
متن کاملMalignant Transformation of an Epidermoid Cyst in the Cerebellopontine Angle
Intracranial squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with most of the cases arising from malignant transformation of an epidermoid or a dermoid cyst. The patient presented with facial weakness. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right cerebellopontine angle. A subtotal resection was performed via right retrosigmoid suboccipital approach. Histopathological findings were...
متن کاملImaging Findings of an Epidermoid Cyst Undergoing Malignant Transformation
Malignant transformation of intracranial epidermoid cysts (IECs) is very rare. Clinical deterioration and contrast enhancement of a known IEC or at the surgical site of a removed IEC should raise suspicion for malignant transformation. There are very few reports and to our knowledge no reviews describing the spectral pattern of IEC undergone malignant transformation. We describe a rare case of ...
