Malignant squamous cell carcinoma arising in a previously resected cerebellopontine angle epidermoid.
BACKGROUND: Malignant squamous cell differentiation of an epidermoid cyst can carry a significantly poor prognosis and very little is known about this entity.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 35-year-old lady, with primary malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from a previously partially resected cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst almost 5 years after initial resection. We also review the relevant literature.
CONCLUSION: The imaging findings, histopathology, and management of a malignant SCC arising from a benign epidermoid cyst are discussed with recommendation for increased surveillance and follow-up, even for classically accepted benign lesions.
