Cylindroma is an uncommon skin appendageal tumor encountered by otorhinolaryngologists in the head and neck. We present a case of a 70-year-old lady who presented with an ulcerative lesion in the pre auricular region. These appendageal tumours can mimic more sinister lesions like squamous cell carcinoma which might warrant overtreatment. This report highlights the importance of harbouring knowledge of these benign tumours in order to provide appropriate management.
圆柱瘤是耳鼻喉科医生在头颈部遇到的一种罕见的皮肤附属器肿瘤。我们报告了一例 70 岁女性,她在前耳区出现溃疡性病变。这些附属器肿瘤可能类似于更严重的病变,如鳞状细胞癌,这可能需要过度治疗。本报告强调了了解这些良性肿瘤的重要性,以便提供适当的治疗。
