A recent paper considered symmetries and conservation laws of the plane one-dimensional flows for magnetohydrodynamics in the mass Lagrangian coordinates. This paper analyses the one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics flows with cylindrical symmetry in the mass Lagrangian coordinates. The medium is assumed inviscid and thermally non-conducting. It is modeled by a polytropic gas. Symmetries and conservation laws are found. The cases of finite and infinite electric conductivity need to be analyzed separately. For finite electric conductivity $σ(ρ,p)$ we perform Lie group classification, which identifies $σ(ρ,p)$ cases with additional symmetries. The conservation laws are found by direct computation. For cases with infinite electric conductivity variational formulations of the equations are considered. Lie group classifications are obtained with the entropy treated as an arbitrary element. A variational formulation allows to use the Noether theorem for computation of conservation laws. The conservation laws obtained for the variational equations are also presented in the original (physical) variables.
