Dermal Cylindroma is a type of skin tumor that originates from the sweat glands. It is also known as a turban tumor due to its tendency to form multiple tumors on the scalp, giving the appearance of a turban.
Introduction[edit]
Dermal Cylindromas are benign tumors that typically present as firm, pink or red nodules on the scalp. They can also occur on the face, trunk, and extremities. These tumors are usually slow-growing and painless, but can become painful if they become large or are subject to trauma.
Causes[edit]
The exact cause of dermal cylindromas is unknown, but they are thought to be related to a genetic mutation in the CYLD gene. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that helps control cell growth and division. When this gene is mutated, it can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and the formation of a tumor.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of dermal cylindroma is typically made through a biopsy of the tumor. The biopsy sample is examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for dermal cylindroma typically involves surgical removal of the tumor. In some cases, radiation therapy may be used if the tumor is large or if surgery is not an option.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for individuals with dermal cylindroma is generally good. These tumors are benign and do not spread to other parts of the body. However, they can cause discomfort and cosmetic concerns, especially if they are large or located on the scalp.
