Abstract
Malignant chondroid syringomas are very rare and thus no standardized treatment has been established for them. Only 12 craniofacial localizations have been described to date. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy have not been shown effective for this malignancy, leaving only wide excision as a therapeutic option. A high and sustained (as much as 20 years after the initial diagnosis) risk of recurrence or metastasis necessitates prolonged patient follow-up.
