Article Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are most often benign cystic lesions, with uterine cervical localisation being very unusual. We present the case of a 52-year-old female patient diagnosed with an epidermoid cyst at the level of the uterine cervix. A bioptic and haemostatic uterine curettage was performed, followed by total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy. The histopathologic analysis and immunohistochemical essay of the resection specimens confirmed the cervical epidermoid cyst. The presence of high-risk HPV (human papillomavirus) was only seen in the cervical mucosa. The exact etiopathogenesis is unknown, but postpartum cell implantation of reminiscent embryonic tissue can be involved in the development of these lesions.

A postoperative intradiploic arachnoid diverticulum secondary to endoscopic third ventriculostomy is an extremely rare occurrence. It has a varied clinical presentation and is caused by the insinuation of the arachnoid through the dural rent into the intradiploic compartment following the procedure. This case report describes an incidentally diagnosed right parietal intradiploic arachnoid diverticulum as a complication of endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
