Abstract:
Chondroid syringoma (CS) is an uncommon cutaneous tumor in the head and neck, with reported incidence rate from 0.01% to 0.1%. The CS of skin is a rare type of soft tissue tumor originating from the sweat glands. We report a documented case of CS occurring in the nasal dorsum in a 58-year-old man, which developed during the course of 1 year. The clinical, gross pathologic, and histologic findings of the tumor are described. The lesion was totally excised via transcutaneous approach and showed no evidence of recurrence after excision.
