Chondroid Syringoma of the Hand

Abstract

We describe a patient with a benign chondroid syringoma of the little finger of the right hand. She was a 56-year-old pianist who had had the swelling for 25 years without it causing any symptoms. The tumour was excised with an excellent result. Although chondroid syringoma is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of the soft tumours of the hand.
