Epidermal cysts of the cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) are lesions arising from epidermal remainders having an expansive and slow growth sitting on the PCA space or on the temporal bone. Are diagnosed approximately in the fourth life's decade by its deficient or irritant symptoms related to VIIth and VIIIth cranial nerves. It is important the nuclear magnetic resonance exam because the specific radiologic characteristics that distinguish these cysts from other conditions of CPA as neuromata or meningiomata.

D002528	Cerebellar Neoplasms	Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
