Nonneoplastic epithelial cysts involving the central nervous system are diverse and are predominantly developmental in origin. This study represents a surgical series describing the histopathological features of 507 such epithelial cysts with clinical and imaging correlation. Age at surgery ranged from 7 months to 72 years (mean: 33 years) affecting 246 male and 261 female patients. Colloid cyst was the most frequently resected cyst, followed by epidermoid cyst, arachnoid cyst, Rathke cleft cyst, dermoid cyst, neurenteric cyst, Tarlov cyst, and choroid plexus cyst. Diagnosis was based on the location of the cysts and the nature of the lining epithelium. Rathke cleft cyst showed the highest propensity for squamous metaplasia, significant inflammation, and xanthogranulomatous reaction. Ulceration of lining epithelium and calcification were most frequent in dermoid cyst. Radiopathological concordance was maximal for colloid cyst, followed by epidermoid and arachnoid cysts. Epidermoid and dermoid cysts exhibited the highest propensity for local tumor progression, followed by Rathke cleft cyst.
