(Medknow Publications, 2016) Kulwant Singh; Sharad Pandey; Praveen Gupta; Vivek Sharma; Deepa Santhosh; Amrita Ghosh
Background: Epidermoid and dermoid cyst comprise <1% of spinal tumors and may be congenital (hamartoma) or acquired (iatrogenic) in origin. Epidermoid cysts within the neuraxis are rare benign neoplasms that are most commonly located in the intracranial region. Case Description: Here, we report the a case of an acquired intradural extramedullary epidermoid cyst involving the thoracic region in an adult female who had no associated history of an accompanying congenital spinal deformity. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention reduce patient morbidity. Near complete or subtotal excision of the cyst wall is warranted to prevent inadvertent injury to the spinal cord thus minimizing neurological morbidity. © 2016 Surgical Neurology International.
Bilateral mirror image cervical neurofibroma in an adult with neurofibromatosis type 1
(Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2017) Sharad Pandey; Kulwant Singh; Vivek Sharma; Mohammed Tabish Khan; Amrita Ghosh; Deepa Santhosh
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by various phenotypic features like hyperpigmented spots, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, skeletal abnormalities and tendency to develop neoplasms. Only few cases of Non-Familial Spinal Neurofibromatosis-1 (Non-FSNF1) have been described in literature with tumors involving the spinal roots at every level being even rarer. We reported an interesting case of bilateral symmetrical cervical neurofibroma with multiple spinal neurofibromas appearing as mirror image on CT, associated with non familial NF-1 as a rare presentation in a 25-year-old adult male. © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2017.

Radiopathological evaluation of primary malignant skull tumors: A review
(2012) Kiran Gangadhar; Deepa Santhosh
Skull tumors comprise a wide variety of entities, ranging from chronic inflammatory disease to primary and secondary neoplasms. There is no valid incidence or data about the incidence of skull tumors in general. Primary malignant skull tumors are rare, with most articles reporting single cases. We would discuss some of the frequent tumors in this group and review of the literature for the same. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
