Giant Intradiploic Epidermoid Cyst in the Occipital Bone: A Case Report
Epidermoid cysts are uncommon intracranial tumors. As one of the extradural types of epidermoid cysts, intradiploic epidermoid cysts are even rarer tumors and occur in any part of the skull. We herein report a rare case of a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone. A 57-year-old wom...

description | Epidermoid cysts are uncommon intracranial tumors. As one of the extradural types of epidermoid cysts, intradiploic epidermoid cysts are even rarer tumors and occur in any part of the skull. We herein report a rare case of a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone. A 57-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of localized headache in the occipital area. CT and MRI showed an extradural mass measuring 50×70 mm in the occipital bone with bony destruction. The patient underwent surgical resection. The tumor was completely removed with its capsule. There was no extension to the intradural space. The pathological report confirmed that the tumor was an epidermoid cyst. Follow-up MRI 24 months after the operation showed no recurrence. The headache was well controlled without any medications. We report a rare case of intradiploic epidermoid cyst with clinical and radiologic features and surgical treatment. It is important to consider this diagnosis for a patient with persistent regional headache with or without a growing scalp mass. |
