Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease with predisposition to neoplasms of the skin appendages. The disease has been mapped to 16q, and mutations in the CYLD gene have been identified in families with this disorder. We describe an individual with BSS exhibiting clinical heterogeneity in which a heterozygous frameshift mutation in CYLD, 2172delA, has been identified. These findings extend the body of evidence that mutations in CYLD are involved in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome and provide additional information for phenotype-genotype correlation.

Cutaneous cylindromas are rare, slow-growing adnexal tumors commonly found on the capillitium or face. When located on the capillitium, they can cluster together, forming a headgear-like structure that gives the characteristic "turban" appearance. Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition, is typically benign, though malignant transformation can occur.

Article Synopsis
- Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is an autosomal dominant condition linked to a gene mutation, leading to the formation of multiple benign skin tumors known as trichoepitheliomas.
- A case study reveals a young female with a previously unknown mutation (c.2501dupC) causing this syndrome, which was confirmed through genetic testing involving her family.
- Despite surgical removal of some tumors using a CO laser, new lesions continued to emerge, suggesting that current treatments are inadequate and highlighting the need for future targeted therapies not currently available.

Basal cell adenoma (BCA) and basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) are uncommon basaloid biphasic salivary gland tumors composed of basal and ductal cells. BCAC is differentiated from BCA by the presence of invasion in BCAC. In this paper, an 82-year-old woman presented with a palpable 3 cm immobile mass in her right parotid gland.

Article Synopsis
- * A recent study looked at 11 patients with skin tumors, showing that a new FDA-approved plasma device was very effective for treating some of them, leading to great results.
- * Having multiple skin tumors, especially on the face, can be tough for people's feelings and lives, so finding the right treatment that works for each person is really important.
