“…These tumors are usually asymptomatic, non-specific, and hence not actively reported by the patients. It is the rapid growth of the tumor or associated pain that induces patients to seek help [8].…”

Malignant chondroid syringoma: An unusual scalp tumor

Chondroid syringomas are similar to mixed parotid tumors and present in both benign and malignant forms. Malignant chondroid syringoma (MCS) is a rare skin tumor that has a predilection for extremities, particularly in young women. It is even rarer to present as a scalp tumor with very few reported cases in the literature. We present a middle-aged woman, with a history of increasing fatigability of her right arm for the past 3 months who, on examination, was found to have scalp swelling and matted right posterior triangle lymph nodes. The working diagnosis on her was a large sebaceous cyst with secondary in the neck from an occult primary/non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Preliminary fine-needle aspiration was inconclusive. Imaging followed by wide excision of the tumor and the nearby occipital node was done. The final histopathological diagnosis was MCS with secondary in the lymph node. These tumors are aggressive and metastasize early. Radical surgery is the only hope of cure as adjuvant treatment is yet to be standardized.

“…The authors recommend wide local excision as the only effective treatment, with little data supporting the use of chemotherapy or radiation. 6 It is worth bearing in mind that most cases of malignant CS usually present in the truncal region and extremities. 7 Nevertheless, these recent case studies highlight the importance of maintaining diagnostic scepticism when faced with a growing lesion.…”

Coined in 1961 by Hirsch and Helwig, the term chondroid syringoma refers to a rare mixed tumour of subcutaneous tissue. Histologically, these tumours are almost identical to pleomorphic adenomas, arising from salivary glands. With the obvious difference being the presence of sweat gland tissue (syringoma) within a matrix of cartilage (chondroid). These mixed tumours remain scarce throughout the world, with an incidence of less than 0.098%. The vast majority of cases are reported in middle-aged and older adults, where they typically present as painless swellings in the head and neck, which gradually grow in size.

“…Chondroid syringoma currently has no standardized treatment and the mainstay of therapy is surgical excision. 14 Tumors of the lacrimal gland occur in 1 in 1,000,000 individuals per year, and they represent about 5% to 15% of all orbital malignancies. Overall, benign neoplasms of epithelial origin are the most common, followed by malignant lymphoid and metastatic lesions.…”

Soft tissue lesions of the eyebrow are common and are usually diagnosed as dermoid cysts, pilomatrixomas, inclusion cysts, or basal cell carcinomas. Pleomorphic adenomas are benign glandular lesions most commonly found in the parotid gland or salivary glands, and less commonly found in the lacrimal gland.Here the authors report the case of a 35-year-old male who presented with a prominent soft tissue lesion of his right upper brow. This had been present for several months and had not substantially changed in size. Operative excision was performed
