| Abstract |
|
Epidermoids are cystic masses originated from ectoderm, lined mith stratified squamous epithelium and filled with keratin, cellular debris, and cholesterol crystals. Because of their cholesterol content, epidermoids are sometimes called cholesteatoma or pearly tumors. Intracranial epidermoids are relatively rare and seldom made the diagnosis preoperatively. Recently we experienced a case of epidermal cyst developing in pineal gland and posterior
third ventricle. The case 1 was 2 and half years old male child who was admitted with the symptoms of vomiting and convulsion under semicomatose state. He was confirmed by surgical exploration and pathologic examination, and he was the first case seen in our country throughout all age. We reviewed the literatures about the history, embryology, pathology, and radiologic finding and management of epidermoid tumors of the brain briefly.
