    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Extradural epidermoid cysts and xanthoma are rare lesions.
    • Accurate radiographic diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) and radiographic findings of two extradural epidermoid cysts and one xanthoma are presented.
    • Contrast enhancement of the lesion margins was consistently observed.
    • Low central absorption values, similar to cerebrospinal fluid, were noted in the lesions.

    Findings:

    • The radiographic features described can aid in differentiating these lesions from other extradural masses.
    • Specific CT absorption values and enhancement patterns are characteristic.

    Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy through detailed radiographic analysis.
    • Potential for non-invasive differentiation of extradural lesions.
    • Guidance for surgical planning and patient management.
