Malignant squamous cell carcinoma arising in a previously resected cerebellopontine angle epidermoid

BACKGROUND: Malignant squamous cell differentiation of an epidermoid cyst can carry a significantly poor prognosis and very little is known about this entity. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 35-year-old lady, with primary malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from a previously p...

description BACKGROUND: Malignant squamous cell differentiation of an epidermoid cyst can carry a significantly poor prognosis and very little is known about this entity. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 35-year-old lady, with primary malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from a previously partially resected cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst almost 5 years after initial resection. We also review the relevant literature. CONCLUSION: The imaging findings, histopathology, and management of a malignant SCC arising from a benign epidermoid cyst are discussed with recommendation for increased surveillance and follow-up, even for classically accepted benign lesions.
