Abstract:
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE:Epithelial cysts of the central nervous system are unusual entities, with the majority reported to occur in the spinal canal. More unusual is the intracranial presentation, which shows a predilection for midline localization in the posterior fossa, brainstem, and suprasellar regions. This report discusses the differential diagnosis, pathogenesis, radiographic presentation, and therapeutic considerations of a laterally positioned cerebral convexity endodermal cyst. CLINICAL PRESENTATION:A 49-year-old right-handed man presented with approximately a 30-month history of short- and long-term memory difficulties. A magnetic resonance imaging study revealed a large, nonenhancing, extra-axial cystic lesion overlying the right lateral frontal convexity. INTERVENTION:A right frontoparietal craniotomy exposed a large extra-axial cyst with an opaque, yellowish-white membrane containing a mucoid fluid. Histological analysis disclosed a layer of unremarkable, ciliated columnar epithelium with a basement membrane that stained positive for cytokeratin, periodic acid-Schiff, and Alcian blue. No evidence of either a muscular or cartilaginous layer around the mucosa was present to further delineate neurenteric versus bronchogenic origin of the cyst. CONCLUSION:This case involved the occurrence of a solitary endodermal cyst as an extra-axial mass localized over the lateral frontal lobe. The lateral supratentorial localization of this lesion illustrates the need for consideration of the pathogenesis of this entity as well as its diagnostic differentiation from other cystic abnormalities in this region. A review of the histochemistry of endodermal, neuroepithelial, and other cerebral cysts is presented.
