Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Cylindroma is a rare benign adnexal neoplasm.
  • Surgical excision can be difficult in certain anatomical locations.
  • Disfigurement is a concern with traditional surgical approaches.

Observation:

  • A case of cylindroma requiring treatment is presented.
  • Mohs micrographic surgery was utilized for tumor removal.
  • The tumor's extent was not fully predictable by clinical assessment.

Findings:

  • Postsurgical evaluation confirmed tumor invasion beyond initial clinical suspicion.
  • Mohs surgery allowed for complete tumor removal with clear margins.
  • The technique addressed the challenge of potential disfigurement.

Implications:

  • Mohs surgery is a viable and effective treatment for challenging cylindroma cases.
  • This approach minimizes recurrence risk and optimizes cosmetic outcomes.
  • Accurate preoperative assessment of tumor extent is crucial for treatment planning.
