摘要

In a 33-year-old male patient, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated cranial multicentric epidermoid cyst and rupture of the cysts. Dermoid cysts are extremely rare inclusion cysts constituting less than 0.5 % of all primary intracranial tumors. Most of them are asymptomatic. Multicentric type of dermoid cysts have been reported very rarely in the literature. Most of these cysts are asymptomatic. Hormonal changes with age can increase the glandular secretions resulting in the rupture of rapidly enlarging cysts. Magnetic resonance imaging displays the typical findings of rupture. There has been only one case of multicentric dermoid cyst reported in the literature until now.
