| description | Chondroid syringomas (CSs) are benign adnexal skin tumors usually affecting adolescent females in the periorbital region, and may have calcifications. Malignant transformation is very rarely encountered. There is a tendency to either medical treatment or intralesional injection of these lesions when confirmed benign especially if multiple. We herein describe a female with a periorbital benign CS. The presurgery cytology failed to predict the diagnosis, but surgical excision was attempted with good result. Both pathologists and surgeons are encouraged to add this differential in their diagnostic package of facial subcutaneous swellings. |
