title: Chondroid syringoma with marked calcification.
abstract: Chondroid syringoma is an uncommon benign neoplasm in the skin. It is composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells embedded in a matrix with varying amounts of mucoid and cartilaginous material. Chondroid syringoma is classified into 2 types, the apocine type and the eccrine type. Several cases of the eccrine type chondroid syringoma with ossification and calcification have been reported, but the apocrine type chondroid syringoma with calcification has not been reported. In this report, we describe a case of apocrine type chondroid syringoma with calcification.
