title: CT and MR imaging features of intracerebral epidermoid--a rare lesion.
abstract: We present a rare case of intracerebral epidermoid cyst with partial calcification on CT and a characteristic hyperintense signal on diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI). MR imaging with DWI may help to accurately distinguish the lesion from other cystic tumours of the brain.
