title: [Large epidermoid cyst of the posterior cranial fossa].
abstract: An extensive epidermoid cyst in the posterior fossa was diagnosed in a 59 year old male patient. The most valuable indicator for differential diagnosis was given by plain skull x-ray showing a peripheral zone of sclerosis as the leading x-ray sign of epidermoids. CT and MRI complemented the preoperative diagnostic measurements.
