Significant interference to pacemakers or ICDs rarely results from office-based electrosurgery. No clear community practice standards regarding precautions was evident from this survey. The use of bipolar forceps or true electrocautery are the better options when electrosurgey is required. These two modalities may necessitate fewer perioperative precautions than generally recommended, without compromising patient safety.

We propose the term 'spiradenocylindrocarcinoma' to describe malignant tumors with features of both a spiradenoma and a cylindroma. In conjunction with histological features of malignancy, p53 and Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining may provide helpful clues in determining the malignant potential of this tumor. Further studies are needed to clarify the biologic behavior of such lesions.
