Chondroid syringoma. A rare occurrence in the hallux

WL Wagoner, RB Spencer and RP Ramos
University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, Des Moines, IA.

The gross and histologic characteristics of chondroid syringoma were discussed. A case history of the fourth published occurrence of this rare tumor of the lower extremity was presented. Because of the rare occurrence of this tumor in the lower extremity, chondroid syringoma can easily be misdiagnosed. However, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of any slow-growing solid nodule in the skin. In the case presented, the hallux was saved by the persistence of the podiatrist and pathologist in obtaining second and third opinions on the histologic presentation of this rare tumor.
