Histology of cylindroma
Low power view of cylindroma shows a non-encapsulated tumour nodule arising from the dermis (Figure 1). This is formed by multiple irregular tumour islands, distributed in an aptly named ‘jigsaw’ pattern (Figure 2). Surrounding the tumour islands, and in discrete droplets within the nodules is a thick hyaline deposit (Figure 3). Two populations of cells are noted to make up the tumour nodules. A smaller cell with a hyperchromatic nucleus tending to the periphery, and larger cells with open nuclei throughout the centre of the nodules (Figure 4).
