Objective: To describe an atypical presentation of intramedullary epidermoid cyst. Summary of background data: Intramedullary epidermoid cysts are rare entities with a marked variability in the clinical presentation, essentially of neurological pertinence. Methods: Case report of a spinal epidermoid cyst in a 13-year-old ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/intramedullary-epidermoid-cyst-presenting-with-abnormal-urological-manifestations/ Ultraviolet Absorption in Epidermoid Cancer Cells Abstract. The "excessive functional activity" of some cancer cells first found by Caspersson has been observed in fixed, stained smears of cervical epidermoid carcinomas from four patients. Preliminary results suggest that there may be a characteristic difference between the absorption profiles of some epidermoid can- ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/ultraviolet-absorption-in-epidermoid-cancer-cells/ Epidermoid Cysts of the Testicle: Sonographic and MR Imaging Features OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to analyze the appearance of testicular epidermoid cysts on high-resolution sonography and MR imaging and correlate imaging features with histopathologic findings. CONCLUSION. Intratesticular epidemıoid cysts may show imaging features that correlate with their histopathologic findings. ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/epidermoid-cysts-of-the-testicle/ Chemical Analysis of an Epidermoid Cyst with Unusual CT and MR Characteristics Authors: F. A. Timmer, M. Sluzewski, M. Treskes, W. J. J. van Rooij, J. L. J. M. Teepen, and D. Wijnalda Summary: Chemical analysis of the contents of a so-called bright epidermoid of the posterior fossa with unusual CT and ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/chemical-analysis-of-an-epidermoid-cyst/ Epidermoid cyst of intrapancreatic spleen is described but epidermoid cyst occurring in the pancreas itself is not documented. We report a 36-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain radiating to the back. On ultrasonography, a multilocular cyst was seen in the head of the pancreas. Fine-needle aspiration cy­tology suggested a ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/pancreatic-epidermoid-cyst/ Epidermoid and dermoid cysts are benign lesions encountered throughout the body, with 7% occurring in the head and neck area and 1.6% within the oral cavity. They represent less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts. The cysts can be defined as epidermoid when the lining presents only epithelium, dermoid ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/sublingual-epidermoid-cyst/ Intraspinal epidermoid tumors are rare. Most of these tumors occur spontaneously, while others may be acquired. Occurrence of epidermoid tumor following surgery for spinal dysraphism has been reported till 15 years from the day of surgery. We report here a case of Cauda equina syndrome due to intraspinal epidermoid tumor ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/epidermoid-tumor-following-surgery-for-spinal-dysraphism/ A 65-year-old man with a history of alcoholism and smoking (60 pack-year), was admitted for exploration of a left submandibular tumefaction of one year's duration. There were no similar cases in the family and no history of contact with tuberculosis. There was no history of surgical or radiological intervention in ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/epidermoid-carcinoma-of-the-submandibular-gland/ A 27-year-old man was referred for ultrasonographic (US) evaluation of a painless right testicular mass. The mass had been present for 3 years and had recently increased in size. Physical examination revealed no evidence of lymphadenopathy or gynecomastia. Laboratory test results, including levels of the tumor marker serum ß–human chorionic ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/epidermoid-cyst-of-the-testis/ Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition, constituting only 0.6–1.1% of all spinal tumors.1 The majority of spinal epidermoid cysts are subdural and extramedullary, while intramedullary localization is very rare. Intramedullary epidermoid cyst is common in lumbosacral and thoracic regions; two frequent localizations are T4–T6 and T11–T12, while ... http://www.epidermoid.com/epidermoid/spinal-epidermoid-cysts/
