Solitary dermal cylindroma of maxillofacial region: A rare case report

Abstract

Dermal cylindroma is the benign neoplasm of eccrine sweat glands which present as skin coloured to bluish-red nodule(s) ranging in size from a few millimeters to many centimeters. They commonly present in head and neck areas as solitary or multiple painless nodules. Solitary tumours occur sporadically but multiple tumours are observed to be inherited in a predominantly dominant manner. We report a rare case of isolated dermal cylindroma on right side of the face over the cheek region in a 62-years-old male patient.
