Multiple cutaneous cylindromas (turban tumors) associated with cylindromasof the parotid and submaxillary glands

Backgrounds. Multiple cutaneous cylindromas are uncommonly associated with extracutaneous cylindromas. An association between cutaneous cylindromas an d salivary gland cylindromas would probably not be fortuitous. Case report. A 66-year-old man developed multiple cutaneous cylindromas and cylindromas situated in the parotid and submaxillary gland. Histology was similar for both localizations. Discussion. This association was probably not fortuitous as the histology w as similar, other cases have been reported in the literature, and recent co mplaint concerned the development of multiple cutaneous cylindromas and sal ivary gland cylindromas. Salivary gland cylindromas should be searched for in patients who develop cutaneous cylindromas as they are more aggressive i n nature.
