Abstract
Chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare benign tumor of the sweat gland. It generally
presents as a painless, slowly growing, subcutaneous swelling, typically located
on the head and neck region. The majority of the cases develop in middle aged
and elderly males. We present a case of CS located over the right thumb of a
25‑year‑old male. The diagnosis was made initially by cytological evaluation and
later confirmed by histopathological examination. There was no recurrence on
two year follow up after the complete surgical excision of the tumor.
