Abstract
Most cases of PISCC arise from the malignant transformation of epidermoid cysts. However, SCC arising de novo is even less common. Although rare, the malignant transformation of intracranial epithelial cysts has a poor prognosis. Future prospective trials are necessary to evaluate the optimal treatment modality for patients with PISCC.
