Core Tip	The clinical manifestations of epidermal cysts are varied and the misdiagnosis rate is high. The disease occurs mostly in the head, face and upper torso of young men. Most patients usually have no symptoms, but epidermal cysts that are gigantic or located in important organs can press on the surrounding tissue structure and produce corresponding symptoms. However, gigantic epidermal cysts occurring in the occipital part of the brain in female patients are relatively rare. This report aims to strengthen the understanding of the disease and improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis.
