epidermal cyst/吐き気

A 60-year-old man presented with an occipital mass under the scalp and complained of headache, nausea, and dizziness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined mass in the occipital scalp extending from the scalp through the cranium and several centimetres into the posterior fossa. There were

This video illustrates the case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with sudden-onset headache, vertigo, and nausea. Imaging revealed an epidermoid cyst of the posterior fossa with mass effect upon the brainstem and displacement of the basilar artery. This lesion was approached using a left-sided

Background and importance: Epidermoid cysts are rare, benign intracranial neoplasms that typically arise at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and can be extensive lesions that intricately involve many critical neurovascular structures. We

A huge, intradiploic, right temporoparietal epidermal cyst was known to be present, unchanged in extent, for over 14 years in a 55-year-old man. Although extreme mass effect was demonstrated by computed tomography scans, results of the neurological examination were within normal limits. Treatment of

This is a case of an epidermoid cyst in an intrapancreatic accessory spleen at the tail of the pancreas. Concurrent epidermoid cyst within the accessory spleen is an exceedingly rare entity. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Imaging studies revealed a 3.6 cm

Malignant transformation of an epidermoid tumour is a rare entity that in almost all patients occurs at the same site of the primary lesion. We report a case of an epidermoid tumour with malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at the adjacent site but without any relation to the

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are exceedingly rare lesions that result from a disorder of gastrulation. They are seen only in the pediatric patient population. We describe a 44-year-old Hispanic woman who presented with acute confusion. The family reported two months of progressive headaches and two

We reported a unique case of posttraumatic giant infratentorial extradural intradiploic epidermoid cyst. A 54-year-old male, with a previous history of an open scalp injury and underlying linear skull fracture in the left occipital region in childhood, presented with a painful subcutaneous swelling,

We report a rare case of a cystic mass in an appendix in a patient who presented nausea, vomiting, and sharp pain in lower right abdomen and mimicking acute appendicitis. Although this entity is very rare, careful physical observation, imaging, and pathology can be helpful to make an accurate

Intracranial epidermoid tumours are very rare lesions of ectodermal origin that account for 1% of all intracranial tumours. The favourite sites affected by these tumours are the cerebellopontine angle and the chiasmal region. They also appear in the cerebral hemisphere and the intraventricular

This case describes a 40-year-old man with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, who was found to have a cystic lesion in the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy revealed a primary epidermoid cyst of the spleen lying in the substance of the tail of the pancreas. This

An otherwise healthy 22-month-old boy suffered high fever, irritability, nausea, dysphagia, dysarthria and right hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic mass, 15 mm in diameter, with surrounding oedema in the base of the lower pons. The symptoms subsided in about 10 days after onset,

OBJECTIVE The fourth ventricle encompasses many vital structures including the brainstem as its floor and the cerebellum as its lateral wall and roof. Therefore, lesions affecting the fourth ventricle may present as cerebellar or brainstem manifestations. Herein, we presented our experience in the
