| dc.description.abstract | Intracranial epidermoid cyst is an uncommon tumor of head, and contains only 1% of all intracranial tumors. Epidermoid cysts are benign and slowly growing lesions. It is mostly seen at 3rd and 4th decade. In our study, bening epidermoid cyst at a rarely seen age, rarely seen localization extended from intradiploic area to epidural space, its clinic and surgical treatment have been presented. In our study, an 11 years old patient presented to clinic with complaint of swelling on scalp that grows slowly and painlessly which he recognized 5 months ago. There were bone defect at a focal area at occipital bone and mass appearances adjacent to the defect on radiological analyses. The patient was taken into operation, and the mass was removed totally together with its capsule. The patient post-operative course was uneventful, without any neurological deficit and was discharged after 1 day of hospitalisation. When mass is removed totally, prognosis has long and good course. Any patient applying to hospital with complaint of painless and slowly growing swelling on scalp should be investigated carefully. | |
