Abstract

Chondroid syringoma or mixed tumour of the skin is a rare benign tumour which can present on the face. We present here the case of a patient who underwent an excisional biopsy of a small painless nodule in the soft triangle of the nose for cosmetic reasons. The clinical presentation, histology and treatment, with review of the relevant literature, is discussed.
