title: Two cases of chondroid syringoma of the hand.
abstract: Two cases of benign chondroid syringoma of the hand are described. Both patients did not have this tumor in the differential diagnosis at the time of operation. The importance of this tumor lies in its recognition. Eighty-two percent of the malignant chondroid syringomas occur in the extremities, and the differences in benign versus malignant presentation are discussed.
