Background: Epidermoid cyst is an uncommon intracranial lesion. The most common location is the cerebello-pontine angle (CPA). Unusual locations include intra-ventricular, sellar and supra-sellar regions as well as extra-axial in the temporal region. Patients and Methods: Ten patients were retrospectively included in this study. All patients were diagnosed and treated in Zagazig University hosp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantification of MR can provide objective, accurate criteria for evaluation of a given MR sequence. We quantitatively compared conventional MR sequences with fast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (fast-FLAIR) and echo-planar diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in the examination of intracranial epidermoid tumors. METHODS Eight patients with surgically confirmed intra...

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...

The patients presenting with lump in inguinal area are mostly suspected as hernias. Epidermoid cyst commonly presenting in head and neck region rarely may develop from inguinal canal structures. We present here a rare case of epidermoid cyst measuring 7×8 cm as a content of inguinal canal diagnosed by ultrasonography. Surgical excision was done and confirmed as epidermoid cyst by histopathology...

Primary epidermoid tumors are congenital lesions of ectodermal origin. Their appearance has been described with MR and CT in the calvarium (1-7]. Primary and secondary epidermoid tumors of the spine are rare tumors , and their MR appearances have not been described. We present a case of epidermoid tumor of the spinal canal that probably was caused by a lumbar puncture performed approximately 20...

UNLABELLED Testicular epidermoid cyst is extremely rare injury, which in recent studies has been regarded as a tumor. Some authors consider this lesion as a cystic monodermal teratoma, the histogenesis remains controversial. In this study we provide clinical and morphological characteristics of an epidermoid cyst in the left testicle in a 16 years old patient, where apparently a nodular lesion ...

Epidermoid cysts have a benign etiology and can be either congenital, usually associated with malformations, or acquired, related to external events, even iatrogenic. As for their location, they are classified as extradural, intradural, extramedullary, intramedullary. Intradural intramedullary epidermoid quite uncommon, few cases reported in literature so far. Because of its slow growth, there ...

STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and discuss the treatment options for epidermoid cysts in the lumbar spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Epidermoid cysts are rare benign neoplasms, which account for less than 1% of all intraspinal tumors. Due to their rarity, there are only a few case reports in the liter...
