Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed tumour most frequently occurring in major salivary glands mainly parotid gland followed by minor salivary glands and lacrimal glands. It occurs rarely in skin and subcutaneous tissue where it had been previously termed as chondroid syringoma. Here we present a case of 22 years female presenting with a small subcutaneous swelling on left lateral wall of nose near medial canthus of left eye slowly progressing in size since 2 years and its histocytocorrelation. Complete excision and histopathology of such lesions is necessary as there may be recurrences and malignant transformation.
