Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition. It constitutes of only 0.6-1.1% of all spinal tumors. When they occur, the typical location is in the subdural, extramedullary space of the lumbo-sacral region.We report a forty-two -year-old female who presented with left extremity radicular pain and myelopathy. MRI of the thoracic spine,illustrated a focal fusiform enlargement of the tho...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are one of the rare tumors of all intracranial tumors. They represent 0,2 to 1% of intracranial tumors and 7% of tumors in the cerebellopontine angle. The pineal region is exceptionally subject to such kind of tumor. Cushing was the first to report the pineal localization of the epidermoid cyst in 1928. Up to now, 85 cases of pineal epidermoid cyst were cited in th...

primary splenic cyst is a rare entity and majority of the cases are classified as epithelial cysts. they are uncommon, comprising only about 10% of benign non-parasitic cysts. most of the cysts are asymptomatic, and they are incidental findings during abdominal ultrasonography. we report a case of 20 years old male who presented with 1 year history of mild abdominal pain and left upper quadrant...

We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy with testicular epidermoid cyst who presented with a painless testicular mass. Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign, non-teratomatous tumor. It is often possible to make the diagnosis preoperatively, combining typical sonographic features with normal biochemical tumor markers. Preoperative diagnosis will allow for testis-sparing surgery and prevent...

Epidermoid and dermoid cysts of the jaws are seen rarely. The formation theories of the intraosseous epidermoid cyst (IEC) are not clear. The radiographic appearance is similar with unilocular cysts. Surgical enucleation is the suggested treatment method for epidermoid cysts. This case report presents bilateral mandibular intraosseous epidermoid cysts with impacted wisdom teeth which is the fir...

Intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the skull, despite being rare and representing less than 1% of all intracranial tumors, is a benign lesion that is derived from an ectodermal cell rest within the cranium. The frontal and parietal bones are the most common sites for the cyst; however, the temporal bone, although rarely, is also involved. Intradiploic epidermoid cysts have slow growth rates and of...

We describe an epidermoid cyst arising from an accessory spleen of the pancreas. A 56-year-old female with iron deficiency anemia presented with dizziness. During the clinical workup, a 2×4 cm-sized mass was incidentally detected in the tail of the pancreas in a computed tomography (CT) scan. Under a clinical diagnosis of pancreatic cystic malignant tumor, a distal pancreatectomy was carried ou...

Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences Cystic Echinococcosis. It usually due to spread cysts from other regions leading secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement any organs even rarer. We report an unusual case female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) incidental finding Isolated absence organ. Patient un...

Mediastinal epidermoid cyst is a rare condition that is considered as a congenital disorder. Various manifestations from asymptomatic cases to serious symptoms may be found in these patients. However, some cases may be diagnosed incidentally. Here, we report an old man with recurrent pneumonia who demonstrated symptoms of respiratory distress and chest pain. The high resolution computed tomogra...
