  • Title: Epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone.
    Author: Barr SK, Lacey MS, Scilley CG, Shum DT.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 1995 Mar; 6(2):161-3. PubMed ID: 8601023.
    Abstract:
    This case illustrates the classic presentation, investigation, and management of diploic epidermoid cysts. It is important to consider this condition in the differential diagnosis of a scalp mass that is deep, nonmobile, and in the frontal, parietal, and occipital regions. If suspected, skull radiographs will provide invaluable information, and if a diploic epidermoid cyst is present, they will direct further management.
