Abstract:
The magnetic resonance images of seven patients with biopsy-proven epidermoids were evaluated. The epidermoids were hypointense on T1-weighted images. Intermediate density images revealed the tumors to be heterogeneous in signal intensity consisting of areas of hypo- and isointensity. Signal intensity on T2-weighted images was hyperintense and inhomogeneous in all but one case. CT performed in five patients demonstrated the tumors to be well-defined hypodense lesions without contrast enhancement.
