Combined extracranial and intracranial dermoid cyst: A case report and review of the literature

A rare case of combined extra- and intracranial DC of extradural and intradural localization in the temporoparietal region was reported. The tumor was completely removed by wide craniotomy. DCs can occur anywhere in the intracranial and extracranial space. Although they are benign tumors, serious complications can arise if they are not treated promptly and appropriately. Total radical resection is the best solution.

Abstract

A rare case of combined extra- and intracranial DC of extradural and intradural localization in the temporoparietal region was reported. The tumor was completely removed by wide craniotomy. DCs can occur anywhere in the intracranial and extracranial space. Although they are benign tumors, serious complications can arise if they are not treated promptly and appropriately. Total radical resection is the best solution.
