- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign adnexal tumor.
- These tumors typically present as slow-growing, painless nodules.
Observation:
- A case of chondroid syringoma in the palm is presented.
- The tumor exhibited a large central cystic cavity.
- Histological analysis showed abundant stroma with hyaline, myxoid, and chondroid degeneration.
Findings:
- The histological features of stromal degeneration are peculiar and characteristic.
- The presence of a large cystic cavity is a notable observation.
Implications:
