Florid dermal cylindroma (turban tumor)

Abstract
A florid case of dermal cylindroma is presented as representative of the natural history and usual clinical findings in a patient afflicted by this tumorous growth. Although histologically and clinically benign, dermal cylindroma can result in considerable disfigurement of the patient. Treatment varies from isolated primary resection to serial resections with subsequent electrocautery or cryosurgery for small recurrences. Total scalping with skin grafting is reserved for only the most severe cases where normal integument has been completely involved by the disease process.
