Epidermoid cysts are a rare entity in the oral cavity and are even less frequent in the floor of the mouth, representing less than 0.01% of all the cases. We present the case of a 3-year-old girl with a growth in the floor of the mouth with 2 months of evolution and without changes since it was discovered by her parents. The lesion was asymptomatic; it did not cause dysphagia, dyspnea, or any other alteration. A CT scan with contrast was done which revealed the location and exact size of the lesion, allowing an intraoral approach for its excision. The histological examination confirmed the clinical speculation of an epidermoid cyst.

The case history is presented of a man with an atypical psychosis and classical clinical features of alexithymia. On his last admission, the patient presented with starvation and hypernatremic coma. A CT scan, which was done because of the coma, revealed a large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst. The significance of this finding is reviewed in the light of previously suggested organic bases for alexithymia and related syndromes. Although the symptom of alexithymia is present, the patient's other symptoms do not fit readily into existing diagnostic categories and the resulting diagnostic dilemma is discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to show an unusual case of meningioma simulating arachnoid cyst on CT scan and MRI, diagnosed in a 63-year-old woman evaluated for headache and vision disorders. The meningioma shown is predominantly cystic with a small mural nodule enhancing after gadolinium and exhibiting diffusion restriction. Cystic portion of the tumor is hypodense on CT, and evidences fluid signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted MR imaging.
