Intracranial epidermoid cysts are one of the rare intracranial tumors. They represent 0.2–1% of intracranial tumors and 7% of cerebellopontine angle tumors. The pineal location is exceptional for this type of tumor. In 1928, Cushing was the first to report the pineal location of the epidermoid cyst. We report a clinical case concerning a 30-year-old young man who presented with intracranial hypertension for 6 months. A clinical examination found stage III papilledema at the fundus, and the rest of the examination was unremarkable. MRI showed a pineal region process. The patient underwent surgery and underwent total excision of the lesion.
