title: The surgical treatment of familial cylindromatosis through subgaleal scalp excision.
abstract: We treated a 65-year-old woman with familial cylindromatosis, with cylindromas covering the entire scalp. Subgaleal tumor excision and split skin grafting was performed. The graft take was deemed to be excellent, with almost 100% coverage 2.5 weeks after operation, no complications and a satisfying esthetic result.
