Cranial epidermoid tumors: diagnosis by computed tomography.
Using seven illustrative cases, the authors discuss the computerized tomographic (CT) appearance of cranial epidermoid tumors. These tumors are of low density (-2 to +10 EMI units), seldom show calcification, and do not enhance with contrast medium. Their differentiation from dermoid tumors and craniopharyngiomas is also discussed.
