Malignant Cylindroma also called Spiradenocarcinoma, is a very rare type of skin cancer that starts from the sweat glands. In most cases, this cancer develops from a non-cancerous (benign) lump called a spiradenoma or cylindroma, which has been present on the skin for many years without causing problems.
But in some people, usually in older adults, this harmless lump can slowly change and turn into a cancerous tumour.
Many sufferers of Malignant Cylindroma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Malignant Cylindroma. We have recently created an Malignant Cylindroma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
