I.緒言
頭蓋内epidermoidは,その肉眼的所見よりCruveil—hier (1829)によりtumeur perléeと命名されたが,本腫瘍がcholesterinを含有している点からMüller(1838)によりcholesteatomaと命名された。しかしVirchow (1855)は本腫瘍にcholesterin含有は必要にあらず,かつcholesterinを含有する腫瘍がかならずしも本腫瘍ではないとし,やはりPerlgeschwülstが適当な名称であるとした。しかるに,Bostroem (1897)の提唱した表皮迷芽説が承認されて以来,本腫瘍はepider—moidが一般的な名称として用いられ,現在にいたつている。
全腫瘍中最も美しいとされている本腫瘍はその稀有な外観とPercival Baileyが報告した1920年頃までに全世界でわずか62例という稀少さも加えてか,世の注目をひき,相ついで報告されるようになつてきたが,Lepoire et Persuiset (1958)100例の報告がある現在ではもはや症例報告の段階ではないと考えられる。
1) 27 aged man: the operated case with hen's egg's large epidermoid tumor at the pontine angle was reported.
2)40 reports in Japan, including our case, were reviewed and compared with reports of other count-ries. The results were as follows;
i) There is no difference in sex incidence (M:F= 21:19). There is no tendency of male dominancy as had been reported.
ii) There is a high incidence in younger population (20-30, 10-20) as compared with the foreign cases.
iii) There is a predilection of the tumor as recog-nized (on the median line from the medulla oblongatato the chiasma, paramedian area, then the adjacent region of the midbrain). There is no case report, however, of the epidural or extradural epidermoid tumor in Japan.
iv) The malignant change of the tumor has been reported, 6 in foreign countries and one in Japan (from Hinohara and Nakayama).
3) The pathogenesis of the epidermoid was discuss-ed from the point of view of our 4 experimental brain carcinoma, and if the pial tissue had the origin in ectodermal layer, the experimental tumors and intracranial epidertnoid tumors in any place would be explained well without any exceptions.
