| cylindroma |
1. a usually benign tumor of either apocrine or eccrine origin generally arising in early life as single or multiple nodules located on the scalp and less often on the face and extremities, and consisting of cylindrical epithelial masses containing small basophilic and larger pale-staining cells surrounded by pink hyaline sheaths. Multiple lesions, which affect females more often and may completely cover the scalp (hence the descriptive term turban tumor), are usually dominantly inherited, and may also be associated with multiple trichoepitheliomas. 2. adenoid cystic carcinoma.
