title: Cylindroma of the scalp.
abstract: A patient is presented with a large dermal cylindroma of the whole scalp. The origin of the tumor from sweat glands has been well accepted, but it is still not clear whether the tumor arises from the eccrine or the apocrine glands. Differential diagnosis and surgical treatment are discussed together with the typical clinical and pathological features of this tumor.
