case_images: A,B) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain shows a well-defined lesion measuring 1.6cm x 1.5cm x 1.6cm in the pineal region. The lesion was hyper intense on T1 and T2 weighted images; C) the lesion shows no post-contrast enhancement; D) the lesion shows intense diffusion restriction; E) the postoperative MRI shows complete removal of cyst; F) histopathology (haematoxylin & eosin stain) shows cyst wall lined by stratified squamous epithelium with abundant luminal lamellated keratin consistent with epidermoid cyst

case_images: The lesion was hyper intense on T1 and T2 weighted images (Figure 1A and Figure 1B) with no post-contrast enhancement (Figure 1C). It also showed intense diffusion restriction (Figure 1D). The postoperative MRI showed complete removal of cyst (Figure 1E). Histopathology examination confirmed pineal epidermoid cyst (Figure 1F).
