Higher dimensional, static, cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions with and without a cosmological constant in the Brans–Dicke theory are presented. We show that for a negative cosmological constant and for specific values of the parameters, a particular subclass of these solutions includes higher dimensional topological black hole-type solutions with a flat horizon topology. We briefly extend our discussion to stationary vacuum and Λ-vacuum solutions.
