“…CS is a benign cutaneous tumor with male preponderance (male to female ratio of 5:8),2–5 and is predominantly seen on head and neck regions with predilection for upper lips, nose and cheeks. Rare sites on the face include the orbit, eyelids, and medial canthus 6–9.…”

We report a case of chondroid syringoma (CS) in a 44-year-old male. He presented with a firm asymptomatic nodule in his left upper lip of 2-year duration. The initial clue to the diagnosis was made on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), and a final diagnosis was based on histopathological examination. The case highlights the importance of FNAC in providing clues to the diagnosis of suspected cases of chondroid syringoma before performing large excisions and repair, which would require more skill and time. We have also reviewed the cytological findings of all the cases of benign CS reported until the current date.

“…The sites of predilection for CS are on the head and neck region, particularly cheek, nose, or skin above the lip [3,5]. Less commonly, this tumor can develop on the scalp, eyelid, hand, foot, forehead, axillary region, abdomen, penis, vulva, and scrotum [6-8].…”

Benign chondroid syringoma of the orbit: a rare cause of exophtalmos

et al. 2012

Chondroid syringoma (CS) of the orbit is an extremely rare benign neoplasm. To the best of our knowledege, this is the second case reported in the english litérature.We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with orbital CS. This tumor developed slowly over 8 years causing indolor, no axil, exophtalmos of the left eye. Computed tomography demonstrated an isodense intraorbital tumor with homogeneous enhancement without bony erosion. On Magnetic resonance imaging the tumor was isointense on T1-weighted imaging, slightly hyper intense on T2-weighted imaging, and enhanced after Gadolinium administration. The patient was operated via left lateral orbitotomy. At surgery the mass was well circumscribed, extraconal, very firm and did not invade or adhere to other structures. The tumor was removed in toto. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination, the lesion was nodular, and there was differentiation toward the adnexal ductal epithelium with chondromyxoid and adipocytic differentiation in the stroma. No recurrence was seen with one year follow-up.CS should be included in the differential diagnosis of intra-orbital tumors. Complete resection remains the best therapeutic option to prevent recurrence. Close followup is recommended because malignant transformation, although rare, is possible.

“…8 As a result, more established and well recognised conditions (eg, a sebaceous cyst or haemangioma) are often considered beforehand. 9 The most common misdiagnosis of CS is arguably pleomorphic adenomas, which are practically identical in appearance to CS. 1 10 To aid in making a confident diagnosis of CS, the authors who coined the term 'CS' in 1961 also stipulated the histological criteria required to make a diagnosis of CS.…”

Chondroid syringoma: an unusual presentation in a 7-year-old boy

Coined in 1961 by Hirsch and Helwig, the term chondroid syringoma refers to a rare mixed tumour of subcutaneous tissue. Histologically, these tumours are almost identical to pleomorphic adenomas, arising from salivary glands. With the obvious difference being the presence of sweat gland tissue (syringoma) within a matrix of cartilage (chondroid). These mixed tumours remain scarce throughout the world, with an incidence of less than 0.098%. The vast majority of cases are reported in middle-aged and older adults, where they typically present as painless swellings in the head and neck, which gradually grow in size.
