Intracranial epidermoid tumors are inclusion tumors of the central nervous system. They are congenital neoplasms that grow through desquamation of keratin, cholesterol and cellular debris. They cause mass effect and gradual development of neurological symptoms. Here we present a case of a 65 year old lady who presented with new onset seizures, CT scan suggesting a low grade cortically based neoplasm and a diagnosis of epidermoid cyst was made from histopathological sections.
