Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a rare case where an intracranial epidermoid cyst transformed into malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a 47-year-old woman, leading to severe neurological symptoms like double vision and memory loss.
- Whole exome sequencing was performed on the patient, revealing two significant genetic mutations in the GJB2 and TLR2 genes that may contribute to the development of the SCC.
- The findings highlight the potential importance of these genes in understanding and treating SCC and support whole exome sequencing as a valuable tool for identifying genetic factors in complex diseases.
