Brooke-Spiegler Syndrome with Multiple Scalp Cylindromas
The images are of a 62-year-old female with a long history of numerous soft tissue lesions bulging from her scalp as well as her preauricular (parotid) region. These were noted to range in size from 2 mm to 2 cm in diameter. Multiple similar appearing facial lesions were also noted. Several of these lesions have been biopsied or removed in the past. Unfortunately, many have continued to grow and many have recurred. The woman underwent a computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan of her head. There was no further info about her status.    Cylindromas are benign tumors histologically similar to sweat glands. Multiple scalp cylindromas may coalesce to cover the entire scalp, resulting in the so-called “turban tumor.” Multiple scalp cylindromas are often associated with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome. There is a rare association between cylindromas and basal cell adenoma as well as adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland.  Skull radiograph, lateral view: multiple nodular densities overlie the calvarium.  Noncontrast head CT: multiple nodular smooth surfaced well-demarcated soft tissue lesions arising from the scalp.  Noncontrast head CT: multiple nodular smooth surfaced well-demarcated soft tissue lesions arising from the scalp.  Head CT, noncontrast: multiple nodular masses of varying sizes in both parotid glands. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.
