description The chondroid syringoma is an extremely rare skin tumor most commonly found in the area of the head and neck region. Its rarity, potential for malignancy, and frequent misdiagnosis for other more common tumors can impart unique challenges in diagnosis and management. Diagnosis is usually revealed by excision followed by histologic examination. We report a case of a 42-year-old male with no prior medical history diagnosed with chondroid syringoma of the forehead and review the relevant literature.
