I agree with Dr Mooi. The lower right image shows some spiradenomatous aspects. Hybrid features of cylindroma/spiradenoma are particularly well-recognised in Brooke-Spiegler

Cylindroma / spiradenoma overlap, a feature associated with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, corroborated by the case history of a turban tumor and familial similar lesions.

Agree with mixed spiradenoma / cylindroma ('spiradenocylindroma' as described by some authors) associated with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome by familial history and presentation of multiple nodules.[size=4] [/size]

I think the pattern resembles mostly a Cylindroma, but with some features of Spiradenoma. It can be Brooke Spiegler or Familial Cylindromatoisis. Both have autosomal dominant pattern as we can see by the family history.
