The cytologic findings in the cerebrospinal fluid in a case of primary intracranial epidermoid carcinoma are presented. The presence of a few squamous cells showing hyaline cytoplasm compatible with keratinization suggested the possible nature of the tomographically observed lesion. These tumors may arise in congenital epidermoid cysts at the base of the brain. Because of their location and meningeal spread, such tumors may cause severe symptoms and death despite a minute size, as illustrated by this case.
本文报告了一例原发性颅内表皮样癌患者脑脊液的细胞学检查结果。少数鳞状细胞的存在，其透明细胞质与角化相符，提示了断层扫描观察到的病变可能的性质。这些肿瘤可能起源于脑底部的先天性表皮样囊肿。由于其位置和脑膜播散，尽管肿瘤体积微小，但这类肿瘤仍可能导致严重症状甚至死亡，本病例即说明了这一点。
