Excerpt

Epidermoid cysts are rare, benign, congenital, slow-growing inclusion cysts. On T1W and T2W magnetic resonance (MR) images, epidermoid cysts show heterogeneity and lack of contrast enhancement. Based on signal intensities on conventional sequences, epidermoid cysts cannot be distinguished from other neoplastic lesions. When located in the spinal cord, differential diagnosis includes ependymoma, astrocytoma, cavernoma, and metastasis. …
