title: Dermal cylindromas originate from the eccrine sweat gland.
abstract: Ten dermal cylindromas have been studied using histological, ultrastructural and immunocytochemical techniques. The clinical data from the ten patients have also been reviewed. The results indicate histogenesis from the intradermal coiled duct region of the eccrine sweat gland.
