Chondroid Syringoma Occurring in an Adolescent Girl / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Chondroid syringoma is a myxoid tumor of the skin and the reported incidence of this is 0.098% among all the primary skin tumors. This tumor generally occurs in middle or old aged patients. A 15-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of a 0.4x0.4 cm sized whitish papule on her nasolabial fold. The tumor was diagnosed as chondroid syringoma by histologic examinations. We present here a case of chondroid syringoma in an adolescent girl, and such a case has not been previously reported in the Korean medical literature.
