Intratesticular epidermoid cysts are rare solid tumorlike lesions. They constitute 1% of all testicular tumors. Major advances have been achieved during the last decades, shifting the management of epidermoid cysts to a more conservative approach. We present a case of a 20-year-old male who was referred to the urology department with a two-year history of a gradually increasing painless right-s...

Background: Preoperative differentiation of histologic etiology of sellar lesions is of profound clinical importance because it determines the use of surgery versus nonsurgical technique, transsphenoidal versus transcranial routes and the degree of surgical resection. Objective: We provide an overview of the most relevant magnetic resonance imaging characteristics together with clinical finding...

make up less than 2% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions (1). They are most commonly located in the cerebellopontine angle cistern, which accounts for approximately 40-50% of all intracranial epidermoid cysts, and this is followed by the parasellar region. Epidermoid cysts involving the cavernous sinus are very rare and they can be divided into 3 categories according to their location; ...

Epidermoid cysts presenting within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen are rare non-neoplastic cysts typically occurring in the pancreatic tail. This entity is difficult to diagnose given there are many types of pancreatic neoplastic cysts. We herein describe two cases of an epidermoid cyst within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen for which we performed a resection by laparoscopic distal panc...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are generally located in the cerebellopontine and parasellar areas and appear hypo-dense on computed tomography and hypo-intense on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of an unusual epidermoid cyst of the cerebellopontine angle extending into the upper cervical canal that appeared hyper-dense on computed tomography scanning, hyper-intense on T1...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare. We report a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with trigeminal neuralgia and was found, on imaging, to have an epidermoid cyst located in the right middle fossa. He was managed via an entirely endoscopic endonasal approach. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging confirmed complete removal of the mass, and the patient continued to have complete reso...

Basal cell carcinoma and epidermoid cysts are common skin afflictions that arise in the epidermis and hair follicles of the skin. Only a small number of cases have been reported in which a basal cell carcinoma has arisen within an epidermoid cyst. We present the clinical features of this unusual condition in this report and believe that the information will prove useful to researchers of basal ...

Epidermoid cysts are slowly growing tumors that arise due to invagination of epidermis into dermis either spontaneously or following trauma. While common locations are the face, scalp, neck and trunk, external genitalia can also be affected with scrotal, labial or clitoral involvement. Clitoral location of this lesion may produce local sign of virilization in the form of clitoromegaly. This can...
