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.[1]
- May be related to eccrine spiradenoma.[2][3]
May be familial:[1]
- Familial cylindromatosis (autosomal dominant).
- Brook–Spiegler syndrome.
Gross
- Classically scalp - usually head and neck or face.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- 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.
