Aim: The aim of this case report is to show importance of FNA cytology in preoperative<br />
investigation and differential diagnosis of rare skin lesions. Methods: FNA cytology is a<br />
safe diagnostic procedure that may be used for diagnostic purposes. We present a 63<br />
year-old man with painless, subcutaneous nodule on the neck of five years duration.<br />
Ultrasonography showed a small subcutaneous, inhomogeneous mass with hypervascularisation.<br />
Radiologist required an ultrasound-guided FNA biopsy. During that procedure<br />
the lesion started to abundantly bleed. Results: The smears were cellular with<br />
numerous clusters of small, monomorphic epithelial cells embedded in a PAS positive<br />
myxoid stroma. The nuclei were round to oval with fine, evenly distributed chromatin<br />
and cytoplasm was dense, moderate in amount , with well-defined cell borders. The<br />
combination of epithelial elements and myxoid stroma suggested a diagnosis of chondroid<br />
syringoma. Conclusion: Chondroid syringoma is rare, benign appendageal tumor.<br />
Because of its unremarkable clinical presentation it is often overlooked. FNA cytology<br />
plays important role in the preoperative investigation of skin tumors such as chondroid<br />
syringoma. It may be useful to determine pathology before histological examination.<br />
