Abstract
Most of intradural epidermoid cyst arise as slowly growing extraaxial lesions but purely intracerebral epidermoid cysts are rare. A 39-year-old female presented with a headache during several months. Brain computed tomography [CT] scan showed a mass lesion in the both frontal lobe with heterogenous density approximately $5{\times}5cm$ in size. Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] revealed a mass of heterogenous signal intensity on T1, T2-weighted image and faint enhancement with gadolinium [Gd]. Through the both interhemispheric approach, mass was removed subtotally except the calcified portion tightly attached to the corpus callosum. The patient discharged without neurological deficit. The authors report a case of epidermoid cyst in the corpus callosum and discuss the pathogenesis of the intraparenchymal epidermoid cyst.
