Abstract
Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are slow-g rowing, benign tumors that represent <2% of all intracranial tumors. ECs can be divided into following two types: extra-axial and intra-axial. Extra-axial ECs are most often positioned in the cerebellopontine angle. Intra-axial ECs, which are also referred to as intraparenchymal ECs, are most commonly found in supratentorial structures, such as the frontal and temporal lobes, accounting for <2% of all intracranial ECs and are especially rare in children. In this report, we described a unique case of medulla oblongata EC in a child, to contribute this knowledge to the existing body of literature.
