Chondroid syringoma.
Pleomorphic adenoma, or chondroid syringoma (CS), is a rare, benign, skin appendageal tumour. Because of the unremarkable clinical presentation of this rare tumour, the diagnosis is made on microscopic examination. The usual presentation is of an asymptomatic, slowly-growing mass, typically located in the head and neck region. We present a case of a CS located over the forehead of a 32-year-old man. In the evaluation of a middle-aged male patient with a small cutaneous nodule in the head and neck region, chondroid syringoma should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. For such a lesion, excisional biopsy, without destroying the aesthetic and functional structures, is the preferred diagnostic, as well as therapeutic approach.
