3D Scatter Plot in Cylindrical Coordinates

I want to visualize some data that is given in cylindrical coordinates (polar coordinates with a third component), e.g. each data point has an angle, a radius, and a z-component.
I know that I could convert all the points to cartesian coordinates and use scatter3 to plot them. The big problem is, that you can't read the angle and the radius of the first two components from the resulting graphic (MATLAB just draws a cube around that scatter plot).
So I want some cylindric scale, which shows the angle in degrees (0...360), radius, and z-component. Basically just like scatter3, but the points should be surrounded by a cylinder (with proper annotation), not by a cube.
