Activity Description

Cylindromas, or cutaneous cylindromas, are rare, distinct adnexal neoplasms characterized by a dual lineage proliferation of cells nestled within the dermis. These neoplasms are predominantly derived from likely apocrine cells in the dermis within the hair follicle bulge. Upon cross-sectional examination, cylindromas exhibit a round morphology akin to cylinders, hence their nomenclature, reflecting their cylindrical shape. Although cylindromas are typically slow-growing and manifest as diminutive entities, they are generally benign. However, exceedingly rare instances of malignant transformation and potential metastases have been reported, especially in conjunction with multiple lesions associated with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome.

Cylindromas are slow-growing lesions primarily found on the scalp or face of individuals. They exhibit a marked predilection toward females, occurring approximately 9 times more frequently than males. When multiple cutaneous cylindromas congregate on the scalp, they can amalgamate, creating an appearance reminiscent of headgear like a hat or turban. Recognizing the intricate association between cylindromas and spiradenomas is imperative, as they share close ties and are associated with various genetic syndromes characterized by undifferentiated neoplasms stemming from apocrine lineage. This activity provides a comprehensive overview of cylindromas, covering their etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management, thereby offering a multifaceted approach to understanding this condition. This activity highlights the pivotal role of interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals, emphasizing the significance of cohesive management strategies to address this unique and rare cutaneous condition.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Recognize the clinical features and presentation of cylindroma lesions, including their slow-growing nature and predominance on the scalp and face.

  • Implement pretreatment embolization techniques into surgical management plans for patients with sizable or multiple cylindroma lesions to reduce intraoperative bleeding.

  • Select appropriate genetic testing modalities and referral pathways for patients suspected of having Brooke-Spiegler syndrome based on clinical presentation and family history.

  • Collaborate with interprofessional healthcare providers to optimize the diagnostic and management approach for patients with cylindroma lesions to achieve optimal outcomes.
