Objective: Epidermoid cysts are rare lesions in the oral cavity. Intraoral epidermoid cysts are most commonly located in the floor of the mouth; they are less common in the lips and buccal mucosa. Cysts arising from the buccal mucosa are often difficult to distinguish from other lesions. We herein report a case of epidermoid cyst in the buccal mucosa diagnosed with imaging. Methods: A 65-year-o...

Kaohsiung J Med Sci October 2005 • Vol 21 • No 10 475 Epidermoid cysts can be classified as either congenital or acquired [1]. Congenital types are thought to develop from congenital inclusions of ectodermal tissue during embryologic development, whereas acquired variants are believed to originate through implantation of epithelium, by either surgical or accidental trauma into deeper mesenchyma...

RATIONALE Epidermoid cysts are slow-growing, benign tumor which account for less than 1% of all intraspinal tumors and epidermoid cyst with Atypical Hyperplasia is very rare. Surgical resection is the standard treatment of the tumor, but recurrence is not uncommon after incomplete resection. Inappropriate treatment can lead to repeated recurrent. Here, we reported a case of repeated recurrent e...

Epidermoid cysts of the finger phalanx are rare pseudotumours. They are benign lesions with a satisfactory outcome after excision. We describe a case of an epidermoid cyst in the distal phalanx of the ring finger. It was treated successfully and the patient had excellent functional results and radiological healing at one-year follow-up.

A 32-year-old female presented with a rare thoracic intradural anterior epidermoid tumor manifesting as acute onset of paraplegia. The tumor was completely removed through a laminectomy. She achieved a full neurological recovery. This is a very unusual presentation for an epidermoid tumor.

Introduction: The co-existence of primary intracranial tumors originating from different cell types is rare. While the association meningioma and glioma frequently reported in literature, number cases with meningiomas epidermoid cysts relatively low. We report a unique case because supra-sellar cyst has not been before literature.
 Case Presentation: A 50-year-old female presented to clini...

different opinions exit in histological typing of bone cysts. epidermoid cysts are very rare as the small numbers of published cases indicate. they arises following preceding trauma exclusively in distal phalanges and skull. the roentgenogram shows a round osteolytic resion with no trabecular pattern. we observed 2 cases of epidermoid cyst of finger in imam khomeini hospital central path depart...
