Summary

Chondroid syringoma, a rare benign skin tumor, can present as a slow-growing nodule on the head or neck. Fine needle aspiration cytology aids in diagnosis, with surgical excision being the recommended treatment.

Background:

Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor with a low reported incidence (0.01-0.098%) among primary skin tumors.
This tumor typically presents as a slow-growing nodule.

Observation:

A 57-year-old woman presented with a 10-year history of a slowly growing philtrum lump.
Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed cohesive groups of round cells within a chondromyxoid ground substance.
Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of chondroid syringoma.

Findings:

Fine needle aspiration cytology is an effective diagnostic tool for chondroid syringoma.
Histopathology confirms the diagnosis, showing characteristic features of a benign appendageal tumor.

Implications:

Chondroid syringoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of slow-growing nodules on the head and neck.
Early diagnosis via fine needle aspiration cytology facilitates appropriate management.
Surgical excision is the primary treatment modality for chondroid syringoma.
