Abstract

Chondroid syringoma is a rare skin appendageal tumor which is most commonly encountered in the head and neck region. We herein report an unusual case of a benign chondroid syringoma of the left foot in a 40-year-old female which posed as a diagnostic conundrum. The approach to such a case, differential diagnosis and the management of this rare entity is also presented.
