  • Title: Brooke-Spiegler syndrome associated with cylindroma, trichoepithelioma, spiradenoma, and syringoma.
    Author: Uede K, Yamamoto Y, Furukawa F.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 2004 Jan; 31(1):32-8. PubMed ID: 14739501.
    Abstract:
    Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare, autosomally dominant disease characterized by the development of multiple cylindromas, trichoepitheliomas, and occasional spiradenomas. We report herein a case of Brooke-Spiegler syndrome in a 55-year-old woman associated with multiple cylindromas, spiradenomas, trichoepitheliomas, and syringomas that developed on her face. Her 52-year-old sister also suffered from multiple trichoepitheliomas. Although there is variable clinical and histological expression in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, all of the tumors encountered in our case were related to folliculosebaceous-apocrine units.
