The article presents a clinical case of diagnosis and successful surgical treatment of a giant epidermoid cyst of the anterior surface of the neck with an unusual magnetic resonance pattern in the form of calibrated spherical structures. The issues of differential diagnosis of epidermoid cyst and dermoid cyst and the reasons for the formation of intracavitary spheres are addressed
