Abstract
We report the case of a 58 year old woman with an epidermoid cyst of the right cerebello-pontine angle that was subtotally excised. She recurred 2 years later and received radiotherapy with resolution of symptoms and shrinkage of the cyst. The natural history of epidermoid cysts and the role of radiotherapy in their management is discussed.Keywords
