An intracranial epidermoid cyst was identified within the fourth ventricle of a male 10-month-old beagle dog. The cyst, which exhibited a multilocular structure, was lined by a stratified squamous epithelium and filled with desquamated keratin. In the region of the roof of the fourth ventricle, choroid plexus adherent to the cyst wall and secondary compression of the cerebellum were also seen.
