CLINICAL NOTE: PDF OnlyEpidermoid Cyst of the Occipital BoneBarr, Scott K. M. MD, FRCS(C); Lacey, Martin S. MD, FRCS(C); Scilley, Christopher G. MD, FRCS(C); Shum, David T. MD, FRCP(C)Journal of Craniofacial Surgery: March 1995 - Volume 6 - Issue 2 - p 161-163 Buy Abstract This case illustrates the classic presentation, investigation, and management of diploic epidermoid cysts. It is important to consider this condition in the differential diagnosis of a scalp mass that is deep, non-mobile, and in the frontal, parietal, and occipital regions. If suspected, skull radiographs will provide invaluable information, and if a diploic epidermoid cyst is present, they will direct further management. © 1995 Mutaz B. Habal, MD
