Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE A chondroid syringoma is an exceptionally rare benign lesion of the sweat glands also known as mixed tumor of the skin (MTS). It can occur in different areas of the head and neck such as the lips, cheek, nose and scalp (Gotoh et al., 2022 [1]). It is usually painless and grows slowly. Based on pathological features it can be differentiated into apocrine or eccrine (Mixed cutaneous tumor: chondroid syringoma a case report, 2019 [2]). CASE PRESENTATION Our patient presented with a nasal lesion in the left soft triangle, progressively increasing in size. He did not undergo any surgeries to the nose or any history of trauma. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown our patient did not seek early medical advice. In addition, the implementation of facemasks enabled for the concealment of the abnormality, which reduced the need of seeking treatment. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Chondroid syringoma is a non-ulcerative tumor that grows slowly with an average diameter between 0.5 and 3 cm, however lesions reaching 9 cm have been also seen (Wan et al., 2018 [4]). The mainstay method of management is surgical excision while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the patient. CONCLUSION Owing to its rarity, clinical misdiagnosis is common, however absolute diagnosis is achieved by histopathology. This case delineates the rarity of this lesion and the mainstay method of management, which is surgical excision.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Mixed tumor of the skin (MTS) is a tumor characterized by folliculosebaceous-apocrine differentiation. Because of the wide range of histological variations, understanding the unique features of MTS can help improve diagnosis. This study describes the histopathological characteristics of MTS, mainly apocrine-type MTS (AMT), using 166 cases of AMT. We found that nodular aggregates of myoepithelial cells, mucinous changes in the stroma, and follicular differentiation were standard characteristic features of MTS. Among the cases studied, 67% showed prominent follicular germinative cells and 40% showed prominent lipomatous metaplasia in the stroma. These cases often pose difficulties for the diagnosis of AMT because of insufficient evidence of sweat glands or myoepithelial cell differentiation. This is the first study to examine how the histological features of AMT change as the tumor extends deeper into the dermis. We found that the proportion of AMT with folliculosebaceous differentiation and large lumina increased as it got deeper into the dermis. Histopathological diagnosis of MTS is vital because the clinical symptoms lack specificity. This study enhances our understanding of the histopathological characteristics of MTS.

Abstract
Background/Introduction: Cutaneous mixed tumor is a rare benign neoplasm that exhibits a wide range of metaplastic changes and differentiation in the epithelial, myoepithelial, and stromal components, which is often confused with various other skin lesions. Case report: We present an unusual case of a 58-year-old woman with a mixed tumor of the upper lip, previously misdiagnosed as adnexal carcinoma on a preoperative biopsy. The excision biopsy shows a well-circumscribed lesion composed of various cells and structures featuring folliculo-sebaceous differentiation embedded in a prominent chondromyxoid stroma. The immunohistochemical study proves the various lineages of differentiation and classifies the neoplasm as the less common eccrine subtype of cutaneous mixed tumor. Discussion: The common embryologic origin of the folliculo-sebaceous apocrine complex leads to a great histological variety of cellular components of mixed tumors and the formation of structures that resemble established types of adnexal neoplasms, which could be a diagnostic pitfall, especially on a small incision biopsy.

Abstract
Mixed tumour of the skin is a rare entity also known as chondroid syringoma and pleomorphic adenoma. These usually present as slow-growing skin nodules with a smooth surface, clear boundaries, and no ulceration. Case series exist describing pleomorphic adenomas in the periocular region including the lids and orbit, separate to the more familiar lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma. These may arise from accessory or ectopic lacrimal gland tissue but in the eyelids are more likely to arise from sweat glands in the skin. Histopathological analysis of these lesions is important to identify complete excision, minimising recurrences and in identifying rare but potential malignant transformation. We describe the clinical features and outcomes in three cases of pleomorphic adenoma with two at the medial canthus (including one recurrence) and one in the brow region.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Chondromyxoid metaplasia can rarely lead to the formation of a distinctive tumor-like proliferation in the plantar foot. This is thought to represent a reactive or reparative process, possibly due to chronic trauma. For the unwary dermatopathologist, this could represent a diagnostic challenge. Herein, we review the clinical, histopathological, and molecular presentation of an athletic 17-year-old boy with a soft tissue mass arising in the right plantar foot. Microscopic examination showed a relatively circumscribed proliferation of spindle cells with abundant chondromyxoid stroma, hyalinization, and diffuse ERG reactivity. We also review characteristics of this entity that help differentiate it from clinical and histopathologic mimics and postulate possible links with soft tissue chondromas and immature chondroid choristoma.

Abstract
Mixed tumour of the skin or chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare and mostly benign neoplasm of the sweat glands. Although CS is frequently located on varied parts of the head and neck region, the lower lip is a rarely reported site. The present report describes a case of CS of the lower lip in a 58-year-old male as an expository case to further emphasise the need for proper diagnosis, appropriate treatment and prognostic evaluation. The patient presented with a round, non-tender, slightly hard and mobile mass beneath the mucocutaneous junction of his left lateral side of the lower lip. Radiology revealed a mass measuring 11x11x7 mm3 in size at a depth of ~2 mm. Furthermore, magnetic resonance T1- and T2-weighted images showed slightly low and high signal intensities, respectively. A provisional diagnosis of benign tumour of the lower lip was made, and surgical excision biopsy taken under local anaesthesia, while considering the patient's cosmetic appearance. Histopathology demonstrated features akin to apocrine gland, chondroid and myxoid stroma consistent with the diagnosis of benign CS. No evidence of recurrence or satellites were recorded after a follow-up of nearly 2 years. Although rare, a high index of suspicion for CS among other cutaneous adnexal tumours of the lower lip is necessary. In addition, interprofessional collaboration in the management of such oral tumours could enhance patient satisfaction amid prevailing intraoral and aesthetic concerns.

Abstract
Mixed tumor of the skin (MTS) is a rare skin adnexal neoplasm occurring in sweat glands. It is usually benign, measures 0.5 to 3 cm, and presents as a slowly growing, painless, firm nodule commonly in the head and neck regions. Owing to its rarity and lack of distinctive clinical manifestations, confirmative diagnosis is made on the basis of its pathologic features. Malignant MTS also develops de novo or from preexisting benign MTS even though they occur rarely. It should be excised completely to exclude malignant potentials. Herein, we report a 35-year history of a giant MTS of eccrine type measuring approximately 10.5 × 6.5 cm on the right hemiface of a 91-year-old woman, which is the largest facial MTS reported in the literature so far, to the best of our knowledge.

Abstract
We reported the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with over 25-year history of a soft tissue on the nasal root. The tumor with a diameter of 4 cm was observed on the nasal root, the mass was soft, freely mobile, and painless on palpation. No adhesion with the nasal bone was observed. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple nodular solid tumor masses. There was a region with low contrast in the tumor, and adipose tissue was confirmed. We performed total excision. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor had multiple nodular lesions, and epithelial component had glandular features and a myxoid stromal component. So, we diagnosed mixed tumor of the skin. To the best of our knowledge, it seems to be the largest in the mixed tumor of the skin that occurred in the nasal root in the previous reports.

Abstract
Objectives: Pleomorphic adenomas are benign tumors that rarely involve nonsalivary
glands. We report an uncommon case of ala nasi pleomorphic adenoma. We
discuss the clinical and histopathologic characteristics, and review the
literature on nasal pleomorphic adenoma. Method: A 20-year-old man presented with a painless slow growing lobulated mass
located on the right ala nasi extending into the nasal vestibule. Results: Complete surgical excision was performed. Histologic examination found a
mixed cellular component: epithelial and myoepithelial cells with
chondromyxoid stroma. This was consistent with the diagnosis of a typical
pleomorphic adenoma. There was no evidence of recurrence at 18 months after
the surgery. Conclusions: Pleomorphic adenomas located in the external nose are extremely rare. In such
case, pleomorphic adenoma could originate from ectopic minor salivary gland.
Complete surgical excision with long-term follow-up is recommended due to
the potential risk of recurrence and malignant transformation.
