Cytomorphology of giant chondroid syringoma of the abdominal wall: A case report

Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign adnexal skin tumor arising commonly in the head and neck regions. Literature on cytological findings of chondroid syringoma is scarce. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with a giant chondroid syringoma presenting as a slow growing, painless, firm mass on the anterior abdominal wall of 1 year 6 months duration. The case was diagnosed cytologically and later confirmed on histopathological examination.
