Ancell-Spiegler cylindromas (turban tumours) and Brooke-Fordyce Trichoepitheliomas: evidence for a single genetic entity.

Cylindroma with Stromal Adipose Tissue Metaplasia versus Arising in a Background of Nevus Lipomatosus

Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare type of connective tissue nevus. Cylindroma is a benign skin appendage tumor with a predilection for the scalp of older females. We describe the case of a 56-year-old woman with a scalp lesion demonstrating histopathologic features consistent with benign cylindroma arising within a nevus lipomatosus superficialis. To our knowledge, this lesion has not b...

Dermatoscopic pattern of a cylindroma

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). Dermatoscopic evaluation showed arborizing telangiectasia and several scattered white...

Cylindroma of the breast: a case report and review of the literature

Cylindroma of the breast is a very rare lesion which is morphological and immunophenotypically identical to benign dermal cylindroma. We report a breast cylindroma in a previously healthy 62 year old female detected through a national breast screening program. The patient had no significant family or past medical history, and specifically no history of breast or skin diseases. The tumor consist...
