'''Dermal cylindroma''' is a skin lesion classically seen on the scalp. It is usually benign.
 
It should '''not''' be confused with ''cylindroma'' ([[adenoid cystic carcinoma]]).
 
==General==
*Benign skin lesion.
**Occasionally malignant.<ref name=pmid16882695/>
*May be related to ''[[eccrine spiradenoma]]''.<ref name=pmid6302142>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Gerber | first1 = JE. | last2 = Descalzi | first2 = ME. | title = Eccrine spiradenoma and dermal cylindroma. | journal = J Cutan Pathol | volume = 10 | issue = 1 | pages = 73-8 | month = Feb | year = 1983 | doi =  | PMID = 6302142 }}</ref><ref name=pmid8936072>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Lee | first1 = MW. | last2 = Kelly | first2 = JW. | title = Dermal cylindroma and eccrine spiradenoma. | journal = Australas J Dermatol | volume = 37 | issue = 1 | pages = 48-9 | month = Feb | year = 1996 | doi =  | PMID = 8936072 }}</ref>
 
May be familial:<ref name=pmid16882695/>
*Familial cylindromatosis (autosomal dominant).
*Brook–Spiegler syndrome.
 
==Gross==
*Classically scalp - usually head and neck or face.
 
==Microscopic==
Features:<ref name=pmid16882695/>
*Nests of cells that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle - the borders of the nests are opposed and undulate.
*#Basaloid cells with scant cytoplasm and dark nuclei palisade around the edge of the nests.
*#Larger cells with moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm and lighter staining nuclei are at the centre of the nests.
*Cells nests surrounded by a band of hyaline (i.e. glassy, eosinophilic, acellular) material ~ 2X thickness of a basilar cell - '''key feature'''.
**This is basement membrane.
DDx:
*[[Eccrine spiradenoma]].
*[[Basal cell carcinoma]] - has [[myxoid stroma]].
