A Histological Surprise – Skin Adnexal Tumor

Srinivasan, Rajkumar, Thirumalaikannan .

Abstract


Chondroid syringoma represents the cutaneous  counterpart of mixed tumour  {pleomorphic adenoma} of  salivary gland. It is a small size skin adnexal tumour         frequently on head and neck. It can be rarely malignant. Their clinical presentation is not specific & final diagnosis is based on HPE. But it can’t reliably differentiate benign & malignant. Till now < 40 cases of malignancy reported world wide. We present a case of 33 year male with swelling in the left cheek just above the upper lip, which was clinically diagnosed as neuroma, but histopathology suggested the diagnosis of chondroid syringoma. This case is being presented for its rarity.
