A case of chondroid syringoma of skin was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by histopathologic study. The most important feature in both smears and cell blocks prepared from the aspirate was the presence of two distinct components: an epithelial component and a contrasting stromal component with a chondroid appearance. The clinical and pathologic features of chondroid syringoma are reviewed and the differential diagnosis is discussed, especially for the benign and malignant variants of this lesion.
