Eruptive syringoma, a separate entity, presents mostly in adolescents as clusters of numerous papules on the upper half of the body. Familial erup...

Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign, skin appendageal tumor, also known as mixed tumors of the skin. The clinical presentation of chondroid syringoma is non-specific, and the diagnosis is made histopathologically. A case of a 74-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic 1.3-cmsized, firm, skin-colored, subcutaneous nodule of 8 years’ duration on the superior helical rim of the left ear. Stre...

RESULTS We report a case of malignant chondroid syringoma of the deltoid and axilla in a 53year old patient. Malignant chondroid syringoma is an extremely rare tumor of the sweat glands. It is included in myoepithelial tumors of the skin. It has an epithelial component wit...

A dermoscopy of linear unilateral syringoma has never been described in the English literature. The authors report the case to elucidate the dermoscopic features of syringoma. Clinical, dermoscopic and pathological features of a 38-year-old Japanese female case of linear unilateral syringoma on the left upper arm were described and compared with those of lichen planus linearis. Although the cli...

The rarely seen eruptive syringoma (ES) is characterized by small, skin-colored, papules. Lesions are benign; however, treatment is often unsuccessful.

There are reports in the literature of an association between syringoma and diabetes mellitus as well...

We describe a case of an 82-yr-old woman presenting with a thyroid nodule and axillary mass thought to be a metastasis. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) revealed the axillary nodule to be a chondroid syringoma. We report here the cytologic features of chondroid syringoma and recommend the use of FNA in the evaluation of cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions in general.

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...
