“…23 In the past decade, MRI has become increasingly used for evaluation of nasal dermoid by some investigators. 19,25 Multiplanar (axial, coronal, and sagittal) high-resolution, thin-section MRI should be obtained with T1-weighted images and fat-suppressed T2-weighted or fast spin-echo inversion-recovery pulse sequences. Gadoliniumenhanced, fat-suppressed T1-weighted images are used to depict the anatomy of the enhancing cartilage of the anterior skull base in infants (Figure 4).…”

“…10 Their occurrence inside the brain parenchyma is not commonly encountered. 8,9,24,29 In a recent review of all intraaxial dermoid cysts, the authors found only 4 cases of frontal dermoid cysts, emphasizing the novelty of our case. 8,20,24,29 Since gross-total resection is the mainstay of treatment for both of these lesions, 4,7 the patient in our case underwent resection of both lesions via the pterional approach.…”

There is a wide group of lesions that may exist in the sellar and suprasellar regions. Embryologically, there is varying evidence that many of these entities may in fact represent a continuum of pathology deriving from a common ectodermal origin. The authors report a case of a concomitant suprasellar craniopharyngioma invading the third ventricle with a concurrent frontal lobe cystic dermoid tumor. A 21-year-old man presented to the authors' service with a 3-day history of worsening headache, nausea, vomiting, and blurry vision. Magnetic resonance imaging depicted a right frontal lobe lesion associated with a separate suprasellar cystic lesion invading the third ventricle. The patient underwent a right pterional craniotomy for resection of both lesions. Gross-total resection of the right frontal lesion was achieved, and subtotal resection of the suprasellar lesion was accomplished with some residual tumor adherent to the walls of the third ventricle. Histopathological examination of the resected right frontal lesion documented a diagnosis of dermoid cyst and, for the suprasellar lesion, a diagnosis of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. The occurrence of craniopharyngioma with dermoid cyst has not been reported in the literature before. Such an association might indeed suggest the previously reported hypothesis that these lesions represent a spectrum of ectodermally derived epithelial-lined cystic lesions.

“…(6), FENSTERMAKER et al(4), and EL QUESSAR et al(3) reported three intraparenchymal dermoids. It is noteworthy that the lesions of the patient reported by UGLIETTA et al(6) were similar to the changes in our patient that a nasal dermoid extended intracranially to form large bifrontal intra-axial dermoids.…”

“…Their intra-axial locations are rare. There have been only four reports on intra-axial dermoid tumors and the presence of coexistent extra-axial and intraparenchymal components of the tumors (3)(4)(5)(6). This paper describes a patient with a dermoid tumor with multiple components; one in the basal frontal/ethmoidal region, and one within each frontal lobe.…”

Dermoid tumor with involvement of the frontal lobes

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Intraparenchymal location of a dermoid tumor is extremely rare, and there are only four reports in the literature. This article presents a patient with a dermoid tumor with trilobulated components; an extra-axial component in the basal frontal/ethmoidal region, and two intra-axial components located in each frontal lobe. In addition, two small fat-density lesions anterior to the component in the left frontal lobe were present, probably due to partial intraparenchymal rupture of the tumor. The pathogenesis of intra-axial locations is still controversial, and this article proposes that in at least some cases intraparenchymal rupture of dermoids can cause intra-axial dermoids.
