Abstract:
Cylindromatosis describes a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by multiple cylindromas, which are located on the scalp and the neck. We report on an 80-year-old patient with a long history of multiple asymptomatic, skin-colored tumors on head, neck and upper part of the body. Clinical and histopathologic criteria lead to the diagnosis of cylindromatosis. Development of cylindrocarcinoma has been reported, so one must choose on an individual basis between close follow-up and prophylactic excision.
