Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are uncommon, benign and slow-growing lesions. They often reach an enormous size without producing neurologic symptoms. We describe a 60-year-old female who had a giant extradural intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the posterior cranial fossa. She underwent posterior cranial fossa tumor resection. Pathology confirmed epidermoid cyst. There was no recurrence at 18-month follow-up.
