Multiple cylindromas, rare benign skin tumors, typically affect the scalp. This case highlights an unusual presentation of multiple facial cylindromas without associated syndromes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cylindroma is a benign skin tumor originating from the folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine unit.
  • Multiple cylindromas are often associated with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) or familial cylindromatosis (FC), typically presenting on the scalp.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old woman presented with multiple facial cylindromas of 7 years duration.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cylindroma.
  • No other features of BSS or family history suggestive of FC were present, and the scalp was unaffected.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited multiple cylindromas exclusively on the face.
  • This presentation is atypical, differing from the usual scalp predilection and common syndromic associations.

Implications:

  • This case expands the clinical spectrum of cylindroma presentation.
  • Highlights the importance of considering facial cylindromas even in the absence of typical BSS or FC features.
  • Underscores the need for thorough histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and management.
