Abstract :

Chondroid Syringoma is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor of the skin, representing approximately 1% of frequently diagnosed skin tumors. This tumor consists of both epithelial and mesenchymal stromal elements, thus classified as a mixed skin tumor. Despite being primarily a benign sweat-gland tumor, chondroid syringoma typically manifests as a painless, gradually enlarging mass, commonly found on the head and neck area. In this particular instance, the tumor was situated on the lateral aspect of the right thigh, which is an unusual site for its presentation.
