J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1991 Nov;17(11):871-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4725.1991.tb03277.x.

Abstract

Cylindroma, a rare benign adnexal neoplasm, may occur in areas in which simple excision is either not possible or severely disfiguring. We present a case of cylindroma that was treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. Postsurgical evaluation of the tumor showed that the tumor had invaded a larger area than was initially suspected based on clinical examination alone.
