Intracranial epidermoid cysts are rare benign congenital lesions for which the mainstay of treatment has been surgical resection. Due to a propensity to grow along the skull base, subtotal resection is often elected to avoid excessive surgical morbidity, but it comes with an increased risk of recurrence with its associated treatment difficulties. We here present the cases of three patients with recurrent epidermoid cyst who underwent multiple surgical resections followed by external beam radiation therapy with excellent results to date.
颅内表皮样囊肿是一种罕见的良性先天性病变，其主要治疗方法是手术切除。由于表皮样囊肿倾向于沿着颅底生长，为了避免过度的手术发病率，通常选择次全切除，但这会增加复发的风险，并带来与之相关的治疗困难。我们在此介绍了 3 例复发性表皮样囊肿患者的病例，他们在多次手术后接受了外照射放射治疗，迄今为止效果极佳。
