Abstract

Lacrimal gland chondroid syringoma is a very rare tumor with classic clinico-radiological symptoms that should be familiar to clinicians for appropriate patients' management as the tumor has potential for recurrence and malignant transformation. We report herein a case of chondroid syringoma in a 35-year-old patient presenting with progressive painless proptosis for 2 years. He underwent complete surgical removal of the tumor, with subsequent clinical improvement of his symptoms.

Keywords: Proptosis; chondroid syringoma; lacrimal gland; pathology.
