  • Title: Malignant transformation of residual posterior fossa epidermoid cyst to squamous cell carcinoma.
    Author: Solanki SP, Maccormac O, Dow GR, Smith S.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2017 Aug; 31(4):497-498. PubMed ID: 26761183.
    Abstract:
    Malignant transformation of intracranial epidermoid cysts to squamous cell carcinoma is a rare occurrence and only a small number have been reported to date. MRI recurrence in combination with neurological decline should prompt surgery to exclude malignant transformation. Herein, we describe our experience of such a case and contribute to the evolving series within the literature.
