A clinically malignant alike skin bump with cartilagenous alike histopatholgy- A rare case report of chondroid syringoma

Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign adnexal tumor of skin accounting for only about 1% of commonly encountered skin tumors. It contains both epithelial and mesenchymal stromal component, hence refered as mixed tumor of skin.Its cytological features of have rarely been published in the literature. A mucoid aspirate, abundant chondromyxoid matrix material, and epithelial components were suggested as diagnostic criteria. We report here a case of chondroid syringoma with its cytological features due to its challenging clinical diagnosis.
