A type of benign skin tumor that has a cylindrical or drum-like appearance under the microscope, often found on the scalp.
From 'cylindro-' (cylinder) + Greek '-oma' (tumor or abnormal growth), named for the cylindrical appearance of the tumor's cells under magnification.
Cylindromas look like little turban-shaped bumps on your head (doctors even call the multiple version 'turban tumor syndrome'), and they're usually harmless—they're just weirdly cylindrical in structure!
