Abstract
Chondroid syringoma or mixed tumour of the skin is an uncommon benign sweat gland tumour. It is the cutaneous counterpart of pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands. The clinical presentation of conodroid syringoma is non-specific and its histological diagnosis can prove difficult. We report a case of chondroid syringoma arising from a swelling on face in a 40 year old male. The diagnosis was made on histopathological examination. Surgical tumour excision remains the best therapeutic option to avoid relapse of this tumour. Close follow-up is recommended because malignant transformation, although rare, is possible.
