ABSTRACT
This is a retrospective monocentric study of all the cases diagnosed at our department over a period of 10 years. The study included seven male patients. All patients presented with a single painless skin lesion of about 1,5 cm on the face, lasting for 14 months on average. In all cases, treatment was surgical and the outcome satisfactory. Chondroid syringoma is a benign sweat gland tumor. This lesion is electively located in the craniofacial area, made of a subcutaneous painless tumor measuring from 0.5 to 3 cm. Diagnosis can always be confirmed by histology which shows tubuloalveolar and gland like structures with two or more cuboidal cell lines in a fibroadipoid or chondroid stroma that is positively stained for Alcian blue. Mixed tumors have a slow course; their progress to malignancy is rare but possible. The best treatment remains surgical allowing a histological diagnosis with a control of the lesion edges
