The radiological imaging findings of an intradiploic epidermoid cyst are presented in this case.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Epidermoid tumors are rare benign tumors, representing 0.3 to 1.8% of all intracranial neoplasms.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Epidermoid tumors are most often located in the cerebellopontine angle cistern and parasellar region, and may rarely be found in diploe.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The radiological imaging findings of an intradiploic epidermoid cyst are presented in this case.
Epidermoid tumors are rare benign tumors, representing 0.3 to 1.8% of all intracranial neoplasms. Epidermoid tumors are most often located in the cerebellopontine angle cistern and parasellar region, and may rarely be found in diploe. These lesions grow slowly and do not involve intracranial compartment. The radiological imaging findings of an intradiploic epidermoid cyst are presented in this case.
Özet
Epidermoid kistler, tüm intrakraniyal tümörlerin %0.3-1.8'ini oluşturan ve nadir görülen iyi huylu tümörlerdir. En sık yerleşim yerleri, serebellopontin açı sisternası ve parasellar bölgeler olup, diploe mesafesine yerleşimi son derece nadirdir. Bu lezyonlar, yavaş büyür ve intrakraniyal kompartmanı tutmaz. Bu olguda intradiploik yerleşimli epidermoid kistin radyolojik görüntüleme özellikleri sunulmuştur.
