Abstract

Epidermoid cysts are benign tumors originating from ectoderm remnants. Most epidermoid cyst cases are intracranial. Spinal epidermoid cysts are uncommon and most of the reported cases are in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Occurrence of intramedullary epidermoid cysts in the cervical spine is extremely rare. An 18-year-old male with a giant intramedullary tumor extending from the brain stem to the upper thoracic spinal cord presented at our outpatient department. The patient underwent total excision of a silvery white lesion through a midline myelotomy. Histopathological examination was suggestive of an epidermoid cyst. We present a brief report of the case and discuss the relevant literature.

Özet

Epidermoid kistler ektoderm kalıntılarından gelişen benign tümörlerdir. Çoğu epidermoid kist vakası intrakraniyaldir. Spinal epidermoid kistler nadirdir ve bu vakaların çoğu torasik ve lumber omurgada bildirilmiştir. Servikal omurgada intramedüller epidermoid kistlerin oluşması çok nadirdir. Beyin kökünden üst torasik spinal korda kadar uzanan dev bir intramedüller tümörü bulunan 18 yaşında bir erkek hasta polikliniğimize başvurdu. Hastada bir orta hat myelotomisi yoluyla gümüş renginde beyaz lezyonun total eksizyonu yapıldı. Histopatolojik inceleme epidermoid kist düşündürdü. Vakanın kısa bir sunumunu yapıyor ve ilgili literatürü gözden geçiriyoruz.
