Cylindroma treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.
Cylindroma, a rare benign adnexal neoplasm, may occur in areas in which simple excision is either not possible or severely disfiguring. We present a case of cylindroma that was treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. Postsurgical evaluation of the tumor showed that the tumor had invaded a larger area than was initially suspected based on clinical examination alone.
