Chondroid Syringoma (CS), used in place of pleomorphic adenoma of the skin is a rare, benign, skin appendageal tumor. The diagnosis of this rare condition is made on histopathological examination aided by its commonplace clinical presentation. The tumor commonly presents as asymptomatic, indolent lesion and slowly growing mass, typically located in the head and neck region. We present a case report of a CS located on the left cheek of a 33-year-old man believed to be the first case ever from a rural community in Ghana.
