In this paper, we will present a case of a 63-year-old female with bifrontal epidermoid tumor who has gone under bilateral craniotomy. In a case report study, a 63-year-old female with a chief complaint of progressive headache that has been admitted to Department of Neurosurgery was studied. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed for better evaluation. After detection of bifrontal epidermoid cyst, the patient underwent surgery, and following the surgery, a cut of the tumor has been excised, sent for pathology sampling and reviewed for detection of cyst. Microscopic review of the resected part reported normal brain tissue along with sections containing parts of cyst wall covered by squamous epithelium and huge amount of irregularly stratified keratin within its lumen, which clearly emphasizes on diagnosis of a typical epidermoid tumor. Bifrontal epidermoid cyst is rare, and according to our study, the clinical symptoms and patients imaging were consistent with other studies.
在本文中，我们将呈现一例63岁双侧额部表皮样瘤女性患者，该患者已接受双侧开颅手术。在一项病例报告研究中，对一名因进行性头痛为主诉而入住神经外科的63岁女性进行了研究。为了更好地评估，进行了磁共振成像检查。在检测到双侧额部表皮样囊肿后，患者接受了手术，术后切除了一块肿瘤组织，送去做病理采样并检查是否存在囊肿。对切除部分的显微镜检查报告显示，除了含有部分被鳞状上皮覆盖的囊壁且管腔内有大量不规则分层角蛋白的切片外，还有正常脑组织，这明确证实了典型表皮样瘤的诊断。双侧额部表皮样囊肿较为罕见，根据我们的研究，其临床症状和患者影像学表现与其他研究一致。
