    Computed tomography (CT) scans typically show dermoid and epidermoid tumors as hypodense. This study highlights two rare cases of hyperdense dermoids in the craniocervical region, adding to the literature.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Dermoid and epidermoid tumors are congenital tumors that arise from ectopic ectodermal elements.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a primary imaging modality for evaluating intracranial and spinal lesions.
    • These tumors are typically characterized by specific density patterns on CT scans.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) of dermoid and epidermoid tumors usually reveals areas of variable hypodensity.
    • Common locations for these tumors include the sellar region and the cerebellopontine angle.
    • This report details two unusual cases of hyperdense dermoid tumors within the craniocervical region.

    Findings:

    • The two presented cases exhibited hyperdensity on CT scans, contrasting with the typical hypodense appearance.

  • These hyperdense dermoids were located in the craniocervical junction.
  • Comparison with six previously reported cases of hyperdense dermoids in the literature was performed.

    • Implications:

    • The findings suggest that hyperdensity on CT may represent a distinct imaging characteristic of certain dermoid tumors.
    • Recognition of hyperdense dermoids is crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the etiology and clinical significance of hyperdense variants.
