Hirsch and Helwig, 1961 (Chondroides Syringom)
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Rare adnexal tumor of the skin with apocrine differentiation, which consists of an epithelial and a mesenchymal component. These are tumors of the sweat glands. The term mixed skin tumor appears to be more correct than the term "chondroid syringoma" which is still used in the majority of the literature, as syringoma is reserved for eccrine differentiated adnexal tumors.
LocalizationThis section has been translated automatically.
Especially in the area of the hairy head, the neck, centrofacial (nose). Rarely subungual with intrabony spreading or in the area of the scrotum.
Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.
Rough, intra- or subcutaneous, skin-coloured knots, 0.5-3 cm in diameter, which can be moved easily against the base. Extremely rare are large-area forms. Malignant mixed tumours are very rare; if they occur, they usually metastasise to the regional lymph nodes, but also distant metastases.
HistologyThis section has been translated automatically.
Embedded in myxoid or chondroid stroma, epithelial limited luminae are found. Depending on the form of the luminae, tubular and cystic, sometimes branching luminae are distinguished from small tubular luminae.
