description 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.

This report highlights the importance of harbouring knowledge of these benign tumours in order to provide appropriate management.
