Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a benign neoplasm with subcutaneous nodule appearance, which occurs frequently in the head and neck. Histologically, it is a mixed tumor originated from sweat gland and it contains epithelial, cartilaginous and mucoid components. These mixed tumors may seem like a pleomorphic adenoma but if the tumor is originated from sweat gland, we distinguish it as chondroid syringoma. The treatment of choice is complete local excision including capsule. We experienced a chondroid syringoma occured in auricle and report with a review of the literature.
