Chondroid syringoma: unusual presentation of a rare tumor

Abstract

Chondroid syringoma, also known as a cutaneous mixed tumor, is a rare benign neoplasm originating from the sweat glands, composed of epithelial structures immersed in a myxochondroid stroma. It usually presents as a solid, single tumor located on the face or neck with a chronic and asymptomatic course.We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a slightly elevated lesion on the forehead, whose diagnosis was defined by histopathological analysis.
