Epidermoid cysts occur whenever two epidermal surfaces fuse together during early intrauterine life and an ectodermal implant is retained deep to the surface. They are very slow growing and symptoms may not occur till middle age. The authors present a patient whose symptoms of frontal headache were mistaken for frontal sinusitis for over 10 years. The patient's symptoms were completely relieved by surgical excision of an epidermoid cyst of the frontal bone.
表皮样囊肿在子宫内早期发育阶段，当两个表皮表面融合在一起且外胚层植入物留在表面深处时就会发生。它们生长非常缓慢，症状可能直到中年才会出现。作者介绍了一位患者，其前额头痛症状被误诊为额窦炎长达10多年。通过手术切除额骨表皮样囊肿，患者的症状完全缓解。
