Popis:	We report a case of a primary intracranial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cerebello-pontine angle extending through the internal auditory canal, with the unusual presentation of a completely cystic lesion with no diffusion restriction, internal necrotic-hemorrhagic changes and peripheral enhancement, mimicking a cystic acoustic schwannoma. The lack of diffusion restriction and the peripheral enhancement along the lesion, 2 unique findings, supposedly reflected complete cancerization of the epidermoid cyst from which the SCC originated. We discuss the differential diagnosis and review the literature on primary intracranial SCC.
