Salivary gland involvement in a case of dermal eccrine cylindroma of the scalp (turban tumor). Report of a case with lung metastases.
The onset of sweat gland and salivary gland tumors in the same patient is a rare association known only for a few years. The case is reported of a man who died at 63 with lung metastases and bearing a turban and salivary tumor (both of the eccrine cylindroma dermal type). This "cutaneous and salivary neoplastic syndrome" may be explained by a common stem cell in different organs.
