Multiple cutaneous cylindromas associated with parotid and submandibular gland cylindromas

BACKGROUND: Multiple cutaneous cylindromas are uncommonly associated with extracutaneous cylindromas. An association between cutaneous cylindromas and salivary gland cylindromas would probably not be fortuitous. CASE REPORT: A 66-year-old man developed multiple cutaneous cylindromas and cylindromas situated in the parotid and submaxillary gland. Histology was similar for both localizations. DISCUSSION: This association was probably not fortuitous as the histology was similar, other cases have been reported in the literature, and recent complaint concerned the development of multiple cutaneous cylindromas and salivary gland cylindromas. Salivary gland cylindromas should be searched for in patients who develop cutaneous cylindromas as they are more aggressive in nature.
