Summary
Chondroid syringoma (CS), a rare skin tumor, can occur in the finger. Wide surgical excision is recommended for treatment and to prevent recurrence of this benign mixed tumor.
Area of Science:
- Dermatopathology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Chondroid syringoma (CS) is an infrequent benign mixed tumor originating from skin adnexa.
- CS typically presents as a slow-growing nodule, most commonly on the head and neck, but can occur elsewhere.
Observation:
- A rare case of chondroid syringoma is reported in the middle finger of a 53-year-old male.
- The patient underwent excisional biopsy and subsequent skin grafting for the tumor.
Findings:
- The patient experienced no recurrence of the chondroid syringoma at a 2-year follow-up.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting the mixed mesenchymal and sweat gland elements characteristic of CS.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision with wide margins are crucial for optimal management of chondroid syringoma.
- Awareness of the potential for malignant transformation in CS is essential for pathologists and clinicians to ensure appropriate patient care.
