Abstract

Chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare mixed tumor of the skin. This asymptomatic tumor usually noticed as a nodular form intracutaneously or subcutaneously in the head and neck region of middle-aged male population. The nature of this tumor is benign and its malignancy is a rare phenomenon. Most acceptable diagnostic criteria include detailed histopathological examination. In this report we present a rare case of benign CS in an elderly woman in a relatively rare location - the axillary region.
