title: Malignant chondroid syringoma.
abstract: An adult female presented with a painful recurrent swelling on the posterior aspect of the scalp of six months' duration, which was clinically diagnosed as fibroma. An excision biopsy showed anaplastic epithelial cells arranged in irregular cords and trabeculae, mitosis, malignant chondroid areas, desmoplasia and perineural invasion, suggesting malignancy. Wide excision of the tumor was the only treatment given since there was no metastasis.
