Abstract
Chondroid syringoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the sweat glands that usually occurs in the head and neck region. We describe a 18-year-old male patient with a benign chondroid syringoma that occurred at an unusual site, leading to compression symptoms of the ulnar nerve causing symptoms at the hypothenar region of the right hand. Although it is a rare tumor at an unusual site, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of the hand tumors.
Zusammenfassung
Ein chondroides Syringom ist ein seltenes benignes Neoplasma der Schweißdrüsen, das für gewöhnlich im Kopf- und Halsbereich auftritt. Wir beschreiben einen 18-jährigen männlichen Patienten mit einem benignen chondroiden Syringom, das an einer ungewöhnlichen Stelle auftrat und zu einem Kompressionssyndrom des Nervus ulnaris führte, wodurch Symptome im Hypothenarbereich der rechten Hand verursacht wurden. Obwohl der Tumor hier an einer seltenen Stelle aufgetreten ist, sollte er in die Differenzialdiagnose von Handtumoren einbezogen werden.
