title: [Chondroid syringoma].
abstract: Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign appendage tumor of the skin. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by the presence of sweat gland elements surrounded by a cartilage-like material. The lesions are most frequently located around the nose. Clinically, they appear as solitary, firm, circumscribed, slowly growing intracutaneous or subcutaneous nodules. In the majority of cases the clinical diagnosis is either basal cell epithelioma or cyst. This paper calls attention to the characteristic clinical features of chondroid syringoma as observed in five patients.
