  • Title: Giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone.
    Author: Duan ZX, Chu SH, Ma YB, Zhang H, Zhu JL.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 Nov; 16(11):1478-80. PubMed ID: 19586771.
    Abstract:
    Epidermoid cysts are uncommon, benign and slow-growing lesions. They often reach an enormous size without producing neurologic symptoms. We describe a 35-year-old female who had a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone. She underwent posterior cranial fossa tumor resection. Pathology confirmed epidermoid cyst. There was no recurrence at 13-month follow-up. Total removal of these cysts and repeated washing of the cavity with 0.9% saline may prevent recurrence and aseptic meningitis.
