Giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst presenting as solitary skull mass with intracranial extension.

Epidermoid cysts are rare benign tumors that constitute 0.3% to 1.8% of all intracranial tumors. They are inclusion tumors that include epidermoid elements and are most commonly located in the cerebellopontine angle cistern and the parasellar region, and their location in the diploic space is very rare. These lesions slowly grow and usually do not involve the intracranial compartment. In this article, a case of giant epidermoid cyst located in the left frontal intradiploic space is presented with clinical, radiologic features and surgical treatment.
