Intracerebral epithelial cyst: immunohistological diagnosis and endoneurosurgical treatment.
This report details an additional case of the very rare instance of a respiratory epithelium-lined intracerebral cyst without communication with the ventricular system. Immunohistologic analysis supports an epithelial rather than neuroectodermal origin. Management using endoneurosurgical techniques is described.
