Dermoid & Epidermoid Cysts

Rare, benign cysts present from birth — slow-growing and typically curable with surgery.

In brief

Benign cysts arising from cells trapped during early development
Very slow-growing and non-cancerous
May press on nearby brain structures or nerves over time
Diagnosed on MRI (epidermoids have a characteristic appearance)
Treated by surgical removal when they cause symptoms
