Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a rare, usually benign mixed tumor with prevalence as low as 0.001 % to 0.098% of all primary skin tumors. They can scarcely present as a malignant tumor. Benign Chondroid syringoma having size >3 cm has a high probability of transforming into malignancy. It is essential to rule out Chondroid syringoma since it is asymptomatic, misleading to diagnosis for other tumors. We report here the case of a middle-aged male having chondroid syringoma in the right cheek.
