Intracranial epidermoid tumor is rare and intraventricular epidermoid is further rare. Occurrence of epidermoids is common in posterior carnial fossa. Fourth ventricle is relatively common site for intraventricular epidermoid. Epidermoid tumor in lateral ventricle is very rare. Such a tumor presenting with severe progressive coarse tremor and weakness in opposite side of the body probably had never been reported. The epidermoid was removed by endoscope assisted microsurgical technique. Post operatively patient recovered from tremor limbs weakness. Here we report a very rare case of lateral intraventricular epidermoid with tremor and weakness in opposite limbs as well as surgical techniques with short review of related literatures.J MEDICINE January 2016; 17 (1) : 46-50

In their work, the authors focus on the pleomorphic adenoma of small salivary glands, its characteristics, location, and occurrence. They describe some cases of its rare occurrence and unusual location. In the conclusion, they emphasize the prevention of possible malignancy of this type of benign tumor.

The radiological features of a diaphragmatic slip in an unusual location and simulating liver metastases on computed tomography (CT) are described and the relevant literature is reviewed. The fact that the features so closely mimicked metastases on CT and that ultrasound so readily excluded this possibility, prompted this report.

Epidermoid cysts are benign slow growing extra-axial tumours that insinuate between brain structures, while their occurrences in intra-axial or intradiploic locations are exceptionally rare. We present the clinical, imaging, and pathological findings in two patients with atypical epidermoid cysts. CT and MRI findings for the first case revealed an intraparenchymal epidermoid cyst that demonstrated no restricted diffusion. The second case demonstrated an aggressive epidermoid cyst that invaded into the intradiploic spaces, transverse sinus, and the calvarium. The timing of ectodermal tissue sequestration during fetal development may account for the occurrence of atypical epidermoid cysts.

<p>Osteoma is a benign slow growing bone tumour with predominance in long bones, and is rare in the skull. They are a rare occurrence in the mastoid temporal bone, being usually asymptomatic and treated mainly for cosmetic reasons. We report a case of a young female who presented with a history of swelling in the left post aural region since 10 years. Swelling was gradually increasing in size and was painless. Patient underwent excision of the tumour without any significant complication. As per our knowledge this appears to be the largest tumour reported in literature. The clinical presentation and radiological features of osteoma are characteristic but differential diagnosis should include eosinophilic granuloma, giant cell tumour, monostotic fibrous dysplasia, solitary variant of multiple osteoma, and osteoblastic metastasis. Osteomas present on the mastoid or squamous portion of the temporal bone need to be dealt for cosmetic purposes or if they are causing symptoms, while surgery should include careful removal of periosteal cover and safe margin of the mastoid cortex around it. </p>
