Multiple familial eccrine spiradenoma with cylindroma.
This report documents an association between multiple eccrine spiradenomata and multiple cylindromata in three generations of one family and provides further evidence to support previous contentions that these tumours are derived from a pluripotential basal cell. We propose that eccrine spiradenoma may be inherited as an autosomal dominant.
