Chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare, benign skin appendageal tumor with its typical histologic appearance showing nests of cuboidal or polygonal cells and ducts surrounded by chondromyxoid stroma. It is usually not recognized by physicians due to the relative infrequency and silent clinical course. CS usually presents in the head and neck area, except for rare cases involving the trunk, back, or extremities. A 54-year-old female patient presented with a three-year history of a protruding nodule on her right lower leg. She did not complain of any subjective symptoms, except aesthetically unpleasant brownish pigmentation appeared after squeezing it. Through skin biopsy, CS was confirmed and the patient underwent complete excision. Herein, we report a case of CS on an unusual location, which should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a solid tumor of extremities.
