Chondroid Syringoma with ExtensiveCartilaginous Differentiation

Chondroid syringoma is rare, benign skin appendegeal tumor representing 0.01%–0.098% of primary skin tumors.[1, 2] Common locations are head and neck, yet extremities, chest, abdomen, and genital area have been reported.[1‑4] Usually affects middle‑aged men presenting as firm, painless, well‑demarcated tumor.[1, 2] Characteristic appearance of both components (epithelial, mesenchymal) within chondromyxoid stroma can be accompanied by skin adnexal structures (hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and apocrine glands), osseous tissue, and cartilage. [1] To the best of our knowledge, few cases demonstrating large amount of cartilage have so far been reported.[4, 5] This feature recognition is important to avoid possible diagnostic pitfalls and provide adequate treatment and follow‑up.
