A case of hyperdense diploic epidermoid cyst on CT scan mimicking meningioma.
Epidermoid cysts typically have images characteristic similar to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A case of a hyperdense epidermoid cyst on computed tomography (CT) scan mimicking meningioma is described and the possibility of unusual imaging characteristics of epidermoids is highlighted as a diagnostic problem.
