Abstract:
Chondroid syringoma, or mixed tumor of skin is a benign cutaneous neoplasm of sweat gland origin. It is rare in incidence, and most frequently found at the head and neck area. It is usually present as a slowly growing, painless intradermal or subcutaneous nodule in patients between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Histologically, there are two types, which are tubular, branching lumina type and small, tubular lumina type, and it contains both epithelial and stromal component. The treatment of choice is complete local excision. We report a case of chondroid syringoma presenting as a nasal columellar mass in a 50 year old woman with a brief review of literature.
