Chondroid Syringoma on the Tip of the Nose: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

Chondroid syringoma is a benign, rare, asymptomatic, slow-growing mixed tumor. The authors present the case of a 17-year-old adolescent boy who had a tumor on the tip of his nose for a duration of 8 months. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. Based on histopathologic analysis, the resected lesion was identified as a chondroid syringoma.

Terminal Hairs That Resemble Occipital Hairs in Pilonidal Sinus Disease: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

This is the first demonstrated case in which terminal hairs that resembled occipital hairs and ranged from 2 to 13 cm in length were extracted from a patient with primary pilonidal sinus disease. This case provides evidence that occipital hairs may enter the pilonidal sinus and perhaps also play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
