Intradiploic epidermoid cysts

Abstract: We studied 37 intradiploic epidermoid cysts, reviewing typical and atypical radiological features and the differential diagnosis. The most common clinical feature was a long standing lump in the scalp, occurring in 25 patients (67.7%). Plain films were the most cost-effective radiological technique in diagnosis. The typical finding was a well-defined lytic lesion with sclerotic border, seen in 29 cases (78%). Atypical lesions were those larger than 5 cm and/or with an ill-defined edge, being observed in 8 case… Show more

“…8 11 On the MRI, the intradiploic epidermoid cysts have been reported to show the same appearance seen in our patient, giving a high signal on T 2 -weighted images and variable signal on T 1 weighted image. 2,9,[13][14][15] The differential diagnosis of intradiploic epidermoid cysts includes dermoid cyst hemangioma, eosinophilic granuloma, and in the orbitofrontal region, cholesterol granuloma. 2 The differentiation between dermoid and epidermoid cysts is based on histological examination.…”
