Abstract

After a review of the literature on the origin of epidermoid tumors, a case report is presented of an intraventricular localization of such a tumor. Two theories are discussed as an explanation for this rare site. This case report, in addition to some data from the literature, suggests that it is unacceptable to assume that epidermoids have a primary location within the lateral ventricle.
