Parasellar epidermoid cyst with unique radiological features: A case report and review of the literature
Intracranial epidermoid cysts (ECs) are encapsulated lesions lined by squamous cell epithelium and the most location is the cerebellopontine angle and appears with cerebrospinal fluid-like irregular mass. Occasionally, ECs present as high-density masses on computed tomography and atypical features i...

| description | Intracranial epidermoid cysts (ECs) are encapsulated lesions lined by squamous cell epithelium and the most location is the cerebellopontine angle and appears with cerebrospinal fluid-like irregular mass. Occasionally, ECs present as high-density masses on computed tomography and atypical features in magnetic resonance images in the unusual area, which makes the diagnosis difficult. Here, we report a case of a female subject who complained of episodic left facial convulsions for more than 3 months. Computed tomography plain scan revealed a large hyperdense parasellar mass with atypical magnetic resonance findings. In this report, we analyzed retrospectively the radiological characteristics and histopathology of the parasellar EC, thus increasing awareness about this unusual image features. |
