Core Tip

Core Tip: Chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare tumor of the apocrine or eccrine glands. It usually occurs in the nose and surrounding areas, and it is rare in the lower back. It usually presents as a well-circumscribed, slow-growing, and single subcutaneous masses. It is easy to clinically misdiagnose CS as lipoma, but histopathological examination is helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In our case, combined with the patient’s present illness, dermatological examination, and histopathology, the patient was diagnosed with CS. After surgical resection, no recurrence was found in follow-up visits.
