    Author: Agrawal A, Pratap A, Sinha AK, Agrawal B, Thapa A, Bajracharya T.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 2007 Sep; 68(3):313-5; discussion 316. PubMed ID: 17719978.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Epidermal inclusion cysts very rarely occur in the midline in the area of the anterior fontanelle. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report the second case of epidermal inclusion cysts in the midline in the area of the anterior fontanelle in world literature of a 7-month female infant who presented with a slow-growing soft mass located in the midline over the vertex of the head. CONCLUSION: These lesions with clear contents can have all the features of encephalocele on clinical examination, and imaging will show the exact location, but histopathology will confirm the diagnosis.
