Cylindroma (dermal analog tumor) of the breast: a comparison with cylindroma of the skin and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast.

We compared 4 breast cylindromas with 50 dermal cylindromas and 8 adenoid cystic breast carcinomas. Except for a modest increase in the number of eccrine ducts and reactive Langerhans cells in dermal cylindromas, breast and dermal cylindromas showed identical histologic and immunohistochemical features. Both were characterized by epithelial islands containing central basaloid cells and peripher...

A 65-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic lesion on the left parietal scalp of 6 months’ duration. Three years prior, a cylindroma on the same area was excised by a general surgeon. Physical examination revealed a solitary 6 mm salmon-pink, firm, dome-shaped papule on the left parietal scalp (Figure 1).
