Giant chondroid syringoma of the eyelid

Chondroid syringoma is a rare mixed tumour of sweat gland origin that is characterised by sweat gland elements in a cartiliginous stroma. Its an uncommon cutaneous tumour of head and neck region with a reported incidence rate of 0.01% to 0.1%. Its occurence in periorbital tissues is rare and usually are small in size. Here we report a case of giant chondroid syringoma (>3 cms) arising in the lower eyelid.

Frequent Site

This report describes the case of a chondroid syringoma occurring in the nasofacial groove of a 60-year-old woman. This benign, mixed epithelial tumor is infrequently seen by the otolaryngologist—head and neck surgeon, and therefore may not be included in the differential diagnosis of a nodular lesion on the skin of the head and neck. However, the most frequent site of occurrence for these relatively rare cutaneous lesions is the head and neck region. Histologically, these tumors are quite similar to pleomorphic adenomas of salivary gland origin, and optimal surgical management similarly requires removal of a cuff of normal tissue, rather than a simple shelling out of the lesion. The clinical presentation, pathology and recommended management of this rare tumor are discussed.

Growing Mass

Abstract Chondroid syringoma is a rare, benign, skin appendageal tumor. Because of the unremarkable clinical presentation of this rare tumor, the diagnosis is made on microscopic examination. The usual presentation is of an asymptomatic, slowly growing mass, typically located in the head and neck region. We present seven cases of chondroid syringomas located over the head and neck region of seven patients in the age group between 32 and 56 years. In the evaluation of a small cutaneous nodule in the head and neck region, chondroid syringoma should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. For such a lesion, excisional biopsy without destroying the esthetic and functional structures is the preferred diagnostic as well as therapeutic approach.

Histological Features

Hidrocystomas are benign cystic lesions which arise from the secretory part of sweat glands. Hidrocystomas can be either eccrine or apocrine and are often found in the head and neck region. In this paper we present a case of a large congenital hidrocystoma of the lower eyelid in a patient with possible orofacial digital syndrome (ODS). A special feature in our case was the presentation of bone remodeling of the anterior surface of the maxilla. The basic clinical and histological features of hidrocystomas are also reviewed.

Mixed Tumours

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.

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the salivary gland with the highest incidence rate among all salivary gland tumors in the general population. Even though it’s common, ectopic presentation of the same is rare. When it happens, it presents in the head and neck region. We discuss in this paper a rare case of ectopic pleomorphic adenoma on the plane of the cheek.

Background: Chondroid syringomas are benign uncommon tumours of controversial histogenesis that most often affect the head and neck region and usually measure > 3 cm in greatest dimension. Objective: To describe the clinical features, histology, and differential diagnosis of an unsually large axillary chondroid syringoma. Methods: A 64-year-old man presented with a painless, subcutaneous tumour measuring 8 × 7 × 6.5 cm on his right axilla, which had been growing slowly for several years. The tumour was completely excised under local anesthesia. No recurrence of the tumour has been observed 12 months after surgery. Results: Histological examination showed cords, nests, and tubuloglandular structures composed of well-differentiated tumour cells embedded in a hyalinized stroma with abundant chondroid matrix, and the diagnosis of chondroid syringoma was established. No features suggesting malignancy were observed. Conclusion: As this case shows, chondroid syringoma may reach a large size, and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of slowly growing solid nodules in the skin or subcutis.

Gland Carcinoma

Endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) is a rare low-grade sweat gland carcinoma characterized by immunoexpression of neuroendocrine markers and mucin production. It occurs most frequently at the head and neck region with strong predilection to the eyelids. Up to 2013, only few cases have been reported. However, in the following years, the number of cases reported has increased significantly, which indicates an upsurge in awareness and increased recognition of this neoplasm. Herein, we describe another case of EMPSGC in a 78-year-old man who presented with a 6-mm skin lesion at the lower eyelid. We discuss the clinical, histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of the tumor with particular emphasis on molecular features and prognosis.
