Abstract
- Chondroid syringoma is a benign sweat gland tumor composed of a mixture of epithelial cells and mesenchymal tissue. It is most frequently located on the head and neck. Chondroid syringoma is usually present as a firm intradermal or subcutaneous nodule. Histologically, the epithelial component consists of tubulocystic structures and aggregates of epithelial cells as well as single scattered epithelial cells throughout the stroma. The treatment of choice is complete local excision. We report a case of chondroid syringoma presenting as a external auditory canal mass in 54 year old man with a brief review of literature.
