A ­patient ­with an intra­di­plo­ic epi­der­moid ­cyst of cal­var­i­um was pre­sent­ed. Head inju­ry ­that may ­cause the inclu­sion of epi­der­mal ­cells ­into the ­diploe of the ­bone was ­present in his med­i­cal his­to­ry. Skull radio­graphs and cra­ni­al mag­net­ic res­o­nance imag­ing (MRI) dem­on­strat­ed the ­tumor. The ­tumor was total­ly ­removed and the ­patient was dis­charged ­free of symp­toms.
