Cylindrome: firmly elastic, hairless, red knot with a reflecting surface, interspersed with telangiectasia.

Cylindrome: Roughly elastic, hairless tumours with a reflective surface, interspersed with telangiectasias (capillitium).

Cylindrome: firm, elastic, hairless knot with reflecting surface, which has not grown in recent years.

Cylindrome: Solitary, chronically active, approx. 0.8 cm high, smooth, red node localized at the tragus, covered with telangectasia, without symptoms, protuberant in a 77-year-old female patient.

Detailed view: The fine telangiectasias, which cover the knot like a spider, are clearly visible.

Multiple, 0.5-2.0 cm large, skin-coloured or light red, bulging, protuberant papules and nodules with smooth, shiny surface, partly interspersed with telangiectasia.


Cylindrome. 72-year-old female patient with familial multiple Cylindromas (Brooke-Spiegler syndrome). Differently large aggregated papules interspersed with telangiectasias and smooth nodules in the region of the temple.

Cylindrome. multiple, chronically stationary (tumor problem since adolescence), disseminated (also on the capillitium), 0.5-4.0 cm large, firm, asymptomatic, red, smooth nodes.

Cylindrome. sharply defined basaloid cell complexes surrounded by a broad eosinophilic (PAS-positive) hyaline membrane. the nests consist of peripheral basaloid cells with chromatin dense nuclei. typical are the dark cell lines at the edge of the nests in palisade position and centrally located, larger cells with lighter, somewhat irregular nuclei.

Overview: Irregularly shaped, strand- or island-like cell nests, enclosed by a broad, hyalinized stroma.

Cylindrical PAS staining with solid cell nests surrounded by hyaline, clearly PAS-positive membranes.
