Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a sweat gland tumor that is composed of a mixture of epithelial cells and mesenchymal tissue. It is most frequently located on the head and neck. Chondroid syringoma is a firm intradermal or subcutaneous nodule. Histologically, the epithelial component consists of tubulocystic structures and aggregates of epithelial cells as well as single scattered epithelial cells throughout the stroma. It rarely contains osteoid stroma, and there are only a few reports of cases associated with ossification. We describe here an unusual chondroid syringoma associated with marked ossification.
