Chondroid Syringoma of the Scrotum with Mix Inflammatory Infiltration - Abstract
Chondroid syringoma consists of epithelial cells and mucinous stroma with mesenchymal cells. Although it is generally encountered at head and neck, we found a very rare chondroidsyringoma at the scrotum. Also mix inflammatory infiltration within stroma of the tumor was detected.
A 59 years old man complained of a solid mass in the scrotum. We found2.5 X 2.5 X 2 cm subcutaneous and mobile tumor in the left posterolateral scrotal area. It was well circumscribed, cystic, septate, yellowish white in color. Spindle shaped cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and small round nuclei mostly with cystic dilatation and also branching were seen at microscopic examination. Ductal structures were found in some areas. There was mix inflammatory infiltration without atypicalcytology around tumor cells within mucinousstroma.
Chondroidsyringoma of the scrotum is very rare and eight cases were reported to our knowledge. We could not find any histologic interpretation regarding inflammatory infiltration within stroma of the tumor in literature.
