Chondroid syringoma of the hand: a rare localization.
Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the sweat glands that usually occurs in the head and neck region. We describe a 18-year-old male patient with a benign chondroid syringoma that occurred at an unusual site, leading to compression symptoms of the ulnar nerve causing symptoms at the hypothenar region of the right hand. Although it is a rare tumor at an unusual site, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of the hand tumors.
