Abstract

Chondroid synringoma (CS), pleomorphic adenoma of skin, is a benign tumor found in the head and neck region. CS was first reported in 1859 by Billorth for the salivary gland tumor. The usual presentation is an slowly growing, asymptomatic mass. A 53-year-old female with a history of chondroid synringoma had presented with multiple firm, nodular masses found in the left nostril area. The lesion had been excised 8 years prior and was diagnosed histopathologically, but had gradually recurred. Excision of the mass located in subcutaneous layer revealed four whitish, firm tumors surrounded with capsular tissue. Neither recurrence nor complications occurred during the 18 months follow-up period. In the head and neck region, chondroid syringoma should always be considered in differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses despite its rare incidence. For that reason, excisional biopsy with clear margin is the optimal diagnostic as well as therapeutic choice. We report a case of recurred chondroid syringoma on the nose in female patient.
