Abstract
- Chondroid syringoma is rare, benign tumor of the sweat gland. It clinically presents as intradermal or subcutaneous nodule on the head and neck, measuring 5 to 30 mm in diameter. Giant chondroid syringoma can be defined as chondroid syringoma that exceed 30 mm at the point of greatest diameter if it occurs on the head and neck area. Most chondroid syringomas on the head and neck do not exceed 30 mm in diameter. We herein, report a case of giant chondroid syringoma of the nose in an 87 year-old woman.
