Chondroid syringoma is a rare mixed tumor of the skin which is composed of both mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Its incidence at less than 0.1% and is frequently located on the head and neck. Chondroid syringoma is easily confused with epidermal cysts. Since malignant forms of chondroid syringoma have been reported, accurate and timely diagnosis is important for proper management. We report c...

Salivary gland neoplasms are a diverse group of tumours and appropriate treatment depends on adequate understanding of the pathophysiologic behaviour of each tumour type. Most (95%) salivary glands occur in adults. Benign tumours are slow growing tumours and attain a considerable size before presenting to surgeon. We report a case of huge tumour of left submandibular gland that presented in our...

Chondroid syringomas or a mixed tumor of skin is a rare subcutaneous tumor that may be confused with various skin lesions.

Carcinosarcomas, often referred to as malignant mixed tumors, are rare neoplasm. We reported herein a carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder in an elderly patient with long-term survival (4 years). The operation carried out was open cholecystectomy under the preoperative diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis and tumor of the gallbladder. Anticancer chemotherapy after cholecystectomy was performed by or...

Salivary gland neoplasms are remarkable for their histological diversity and several studies point to their varied occurrence in the population. Clinical aspects were histologically assessed to determine possible associations and define parameters to differentiate benign and malignant neoplasms. The case files of patients diagnosed with epithelial salivary gland tumors between 1989 and 2005 wer...
