Giant epidermoid cysts of the skull.
The authors describe two cases of giant intradiploic epidermoid cysts of the cranial vault and a case of a large epidermoid arising from the frontal sinus and extending intracranially. The aetiology of epithelial cysts is reviewed. The characteristic radiological and CT scan appearances of diploic epidermoid cysts are described, their clinical presentation and surgical management briefly discussed.
