Cylindroma with Stromal Adipose Tissue Metaplasia versus Arising in a Background of Nevus Lipomatosus

Abstract EN

Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare type of connective tissue nevus.

Cylindroma is a benign skin appendage tumor with a predilection for the scalp of older females.

We describe the case of a 56-year-old woman with a scalp lesion demonstrating histopathologic features consistent with benign cylindroma arising within a nevus lipomatosus superficialis.

To our knowledge, this lesion has not been raised in the literature in the differential for cylindroma with what is presumed to be stromal adipose metaplasia.
