Chondroid Syringoma mimicking Keratoacanthoma
Abstract
Chondroid syringoma was seen in 44 years old male patient that was located on the moustache area of left side of upper lip. The clinical picture and the duration of the disease was very suggestive of keratoacanthoma, hence was treated by topical podophyllin for two months but there was no response. The tumor was extracted completely and histopathological assessment showed a picture of chondroid syringoma rather than keratoacanthoma. The clinical presentation of this case is very interesting and strange, accordingly it deserves reporting and reviewing the literature.References
