Intracranial epidermoid cysts account for approximately 1% of primary intracranial tumours. They are benign slow growing tumours derived from ectodermal inclusions during neural tube closure. Typical pres...

Epidermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor, which accounts for 1-2% of all testicular tumors (1). It can be cured by organ preserving surgery. We experienced a case of pathologically confirmed testicular epidermoid cyst, which showed typical onion ring appearance on ultrasonography (US) and high signal intensity with internal alternating low signal intensity patterns on T2-weighted magnetic resonan...

In the differential diagnosis of perineal cystic lesions, a wide range of lesions can be considered, but perineal epidermoid cyst is rare. We present a case of perineal epidermoid cyst, a man with a complaint of painless perianal mass who appeared at the general surgery clinic. Ultrasonographic and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are noted along with the diffusion-weighte...

Epidermoid cysts are common benign tumors comprising around 1% and 2% of all intracranial tumors. Their usual locations include the parasellar region cerebellopontine angle, less commonly, Sylvian fissure, suprasellar region, cerebral, cerebellar hemispheres. located in brain stem rare. These epidermoid similar to epidermoids arising skin which contain cheesy flaky-white soft pultaceous materia...

Dermoid cyst of the oral floor is rare benign tumour, who having three histological aspects: dermoid, teratoid and epidermoid. This one characterized by presence a squamous stratified epithelium with cutaneous remnants. It may occur in any part body, however their frequency ENT sphere relatively scarce. Seven per cent (7%) only epidermoid cysts cervico-facial area, 1.6% which locate at level. W...

INTRODUCTION Epidermoid cysts represent common benign tumors occurring anywhere in the body but very rarely in the penis. Only a few cases of penile localization have been reported in the literature so far, most of them being congenital and/or idiopathic, usually presenting in children as slow-growing, solitary, well-delimited cystic lesions. Here, we describe the case of a patient with a penil...
