IntroductionChondroid syrigomas are rare, usually benign tumors occurring predominantly in the head and neck area. These are also known as mixed tumors of skin. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and generally histopathology examination confirms the diagnosis. The usual presentation is that of a slowly growing mass.Case ReportA rare case of chondroid syringoma on dorsum of external nose in 30 year old female patient is presented.DiscussionChondroid syringoma presents as slow‐growing, painless, subcutaneous or intracutaneous nodule in middle‐aged adult males. The tumor is often initially confused with more common dermatologic skin disorders such as sebaceous cysts, dermoid cysts, neurofibromas, dermatofibromas, basal cell carcinoma, histiocytoma and seborrheic keratosis. The treatment of choice is surgical excision with negative margins with follow-up to detect recurrences.
Introduction Mucoceles occur most frequently in the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses, without gender prevalence. Presenting symptoms can include facial pain, headache, nasal obstruction, diplopia, decreased visual acuity, orbital globe displacement, facial swelling and meningitis, depending on the anatomic area involved. The gold standard in terms of diagnostic precision is computed tomography scan. Case Report The present study describes case of frontoethmoidal mucocele with orbital involvement that was treated by transnasal endoscopic approach obtaining good outcomes, demonstrating safety and efficacy of this surgical approach. Conclusion Transnasal endoscopic management of mucoceles is preferred due to minimal trauma and less morbidity.
