Abstract:
Chondroid syringoma is referred as mixed tumor because it has epithelial structure and mesenchymal elements. Mixed tumors could be divided into two distinct types, eccrine and apocrine. Mixed tumor with follicular, sebaceous and apocrine differentiation is considered as an expression of the common embryologic origin of elements of the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit. A 32-year old manpresented with an asymptomatic firm erythematous nodule on the left cheek. Histologically, it showed typical features of chondroid syringoma with tubules exhibiting branching and cystic dilatation in the myxoid and chondroid stroma. Our case is unique in that the tumor arose from follicular infundibulum with follicular, sebacesous and apocrine differentiation.
