# | '''Dermal cylindroma''' is a benign skin lesion classically seen on the scalp. | ||
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. | |||

*[[Eccrine spiradenoma]]. | |||
*[[Basal cell carcinoma]] - has [[myxoid stroma]]. | |||
