Cylindroma is a benign adnexal tumor, which occurs as solitary dermal nodules on the scalp and forehead. Cylindroma of the breast is a rare lesion. Fine-needle aspiration is often the first line of investigation. In this communication, we illustrate the cytomorphological feature of cylindroma in a 61-year-old female patient who presented with a breast lump. Fine-needle aspiration cytology in this case reveals the islands of tumor cells formed a "jig-saw" pattern, along with the bland, basaloid cells associated with globular, extracellular material. These features are typical of cylindroma, but differential diagnosis of adenoidcystic carcinoma should always be kept in mind as the management of both tumors are different.
圆柱瘤是一种良性附属器肿瘤，表现为头皮和前额上的孤立性皮肤结节。乳腺圆柱瘤是一种罕见病变。细针穿刺通常是首要的检查方法。在本文中，我们阐述了一名61岁患有乳腺肿块的女性患者圆柱瘤的细胞形态学特征。该病例的细针穿刺细胞学检查显示肿瘤细胞岛形成“拼图”样图案，同时伴有与球形细胞外物质相关的温和的基底样细胞。这些特征是圆柱瘤的典型表现，但由于这两种肿瘤的治疗方法不同，腺样囊性癌的鉴别诊断应始终牢记于心。
