Case Description: We present the case of a 35-year-old lady, with primary malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from a previously partially resected cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst almost 5 years after initial resection. We also review the relevant literature. Conclusion: The imaging findings, histopathology, and management of a malignant SCC arising from a benign epidermoid cyst are discussed with recommendation for increased surveillance and follow-up, even for classically accepted benign lesions.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/d09658b9-ed57-4515-8047-6186231262f8/featured/hero-1782420903683.png","publishDate":"2017-08-10T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/sni.sni_99_17","categories":["Neuro-oncology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/d09658b9-ed57-4515-8047-6186231262f8/pdf"}
