MALIGNANT CHANGE IN AN INTRACRANIAL EPIDERMOID
TLDR
Intracranial epidermoids are rare tumours, of congenital origin arising from epithelial rests, usually in relation to neural crest derivative structures, and almost always benign, slowly-growing tumours containing structureless kerato-hyaline material bounded by a capsule.

TLDR
The origin of these tumours remained obscure until 1854, when von Remak suggested that they might arise from misplaced epithelial tissue, which was substantiated by Bostroem, who in 1897 agreed with their epithelial origin.
