Abstract
Summary A case of metastasizing chondroid syringoma of the scalp is reported in which the secondar-ies showed the characteristics of the primary tumour. We were unable to find a similar case report in the literature. The lesion was well circumscribed and lobulated, with nests of epithelial cells at the periphery of the lobules and a relatively acellular chondroid or mucinous matrix centrally. It differed from the usual descriptions of chondroid syringoma by exhibiting cellular pleomorphism, mitoses and islands of tumour cells away from the main tumour mass. These features may be useful in assessing the potential behaviour of chondroid syringomas.
