Skin, Chondroid syringoma

Chondroid syringomas are benign appendageal neoplasms with divergent differentiation (epithelial and myoepithelial). They occur most often in the head and neck region and are more common in men. Histologically, chondroid syringomas are nodular, well-circumscribed, and localized to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. The epithelial cells may form ducts, cords or solid sheets. The stroma may be fibrous, myxoid and/or chondroid. There may be focal squamous or sebaceous differentiation.
