A Case report about an intramedullary epidermoid cyst and its association with an arrested ascent of the spinal cord, concomitant the neurological deficits, the surgical treatment and the clinical progress after one year. Epidermoid cysts are rare in the spinal cord, less than 1% of all spinal tumors. A 40-year-old woman described hypesthesia in the right left foot and back pain since one year....

hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval form of echinococcus gronulosus and it remains a considerable public health problem in several mediterranean countries such as iran. liver is the most common site of involvement. lungs are the second most common sites of hematogeneous spread in adults and are probably the most common sites in children (15% - 25% of cases). primary ...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are usually located in the paramedian regions with characteristic imaging features. Intracystic hemorrhage is rarely reported with most in the cerebellopontine angle area. We described a case of hemorrhagic epidermoid cyst in cerebellar vermis. The patient was a 21-year-old male presenting with a first episode of convulsive seizure attack as the initial and sole sy...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are uncommon congenital inclusion cysts. Cerebellopontine angle is the most common location that harbors the intracranial epidermoid cyst; however, they are also found in other parts of the brain. These have a characteristic hallmarking radiological feature and well defined hypoattenuated mass resembling cerebro-spinal fluid on computed tomography. T1weighted image...

A 5-year-old girl with right exophthalmos and esotropia presented to ophthalmology outpatient clinics. Orbital computed tomography revealed a 20- to 30-mm oval soft tissue mass lying superolateral to the right lateral rectus muscle in the orbit. The patient was operated on by a neurosurgical team, the csyt was removed totally, and examination of the pathologic specimen, which reveals the epider...

An epidermoid cyst of the cecum is extremely rare; only eight cases have been reported in the literature. A 63-year-old woman was admitted to Kyung Hee University Medical Center with a colonic mass that had been discovered incidentally during a regular health check-up. The radiographic impression was that this mass was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. During surgery, an exophytic mass in the c...

Epidermoid cysts are intradermal lesions that are frequently asymptomatic and can be found in any part of the body. The common sites of presentation in descending order of frequency are head, neck, trunk, extremities and the scalp. Here, we present the diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW MRI) and ultrasound (US) findings in a 20 year-old female patient with perineal swelling, diag...

Epidermoid cysts of the ovary are rare lesions and are uniformly incidental findings in hysterectomy specimens. They must be differentiated from mature cystic teratomas of the ovary, and some authors believe them to be monodermal teratomas. The histogenesis is still uncertain. We report an epidermoid cyst of the ovary which was an incidental finding.

Epidermoid cysts arising from both the pancreas and spleen are rare. We herein report a case of a surgically resected epidermoid cyst in the pancreatic tail invaginated from the spleen. A multi-locular cyst, 2 cm in diameter, without a solid component was discovered incidentally in the pancreatic tail. During the 11-year follow-up, the emergence of satellite cystic lesions with distinct appeara...

A 3-year-old cat was presented with anorexia and vomiting. Palpation revealed a caudal abdominal mass. Ultrasound and explorative abdominal surgery revealed a cystic mass in the jejunum. Histopathologic findings were consistent with an epidermoid cyst. The cyst was likely of congenital origin, since the cat had not undergone previous abdominal surgery, and gradually grew to reach a size that ca...
