چکیده
Chondroid syringoma of the external ear canal is a rare, usually firm or polypoid tumor, representing the cutaneous counterpart of pleomorphic adenoma of salivary glands. We report a very rare case of chondroid syringoma in a 40-year-old man who presented with a fluid-containing cyst in the external ear canal. Clinical and radiological examinations showed involvement of the whole external canal to the annulus. The cystic lesion was totally excised along with the overlying skin. The postoperative course was uneventful.
