Axillary Swelling: An Unusual Presentation of Chondroid Syringoma
Abstract: Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign adnexal tumour of sweat gland origin, accounting for a very small proportion of primary cutaneous tumours1. This report describes an unusual case presenting as an axillary swelling. A 43-year-old woman presented with a slowly enlarging axillary mass. Clinical examination, fine needle aspiration cytology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry were performed. Histological evaluation showed epithelial and myoepithelial components within a chondromyxoid stroma, and immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for CK7, p63, and S100, confirming biphasic differentiation. The findings established the diagnosis of chondroid syringoma. This case highlights the importance of considering this rare entity in atypical anatomical locations and emphasizes the role of histopathology with immunohistochemistry in accurate diagnosis.
