摘要
Chondroid syringomas (CSs) are benign adnexal skin tumors usually affecting adolescent females in the
periorbital region, and may have calcifications. Malignant transformation is very rarely encountered. There
is a tendency to either medical treatment or intralesional injection of these lesions when confirmed benign
especially if multiple. We herein describe a female with a periorbital benign CS. The presurgery cytology
failed to predict the diagnosis, but surgical excision was attempted with good result. Both pathologists and
surgeons are encouraged to add this differential in their diagnostic package of facial subcutaneous swellings.
