title: Dermal eccrine cylindroma (turban tumour).
abstract: Dermal eccrine cylindroma, or turban tumour, is a rare benign tumour of the eccrine sweat glands. Despite its histologically benign behaviour, the disease process is distressing for the patients. We present our experience of this condition, with a review of the literature, and recommend a treatment protocol for the disease.
