  • Title: Giant intradiploic epidermoid tumor of the occipital bone: case report.
    Author: Guridi J, Ollier J, Aguilera F.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1990 Dec; 27(6):978-80; discussion 980-1. PubMed ID: 2274141.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case of a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone with an intracranial extension in the posterior fossa and no signs of neurological involvement. The lesion started as a painless lump under the scalp. Roentgenographic and computed tomographic findings led to a correct diagnosis, and the complete removal of the cyst was accomplished, despite its large size. The total removal of these cysts is associated with a good prognosis.
