چکیده
PURPOSE We report two new cases of chondroid syringoma (CS) of the eyelid. Until 1961, this entity was known as pleomorphic adenoma or benign mixed tumour of the skin of salivary glands type. This tumour occurs most commonly in the head and neck regions. CASE REPORTS We describe two cases of CS with rapid growth, in the upper right eyelid, with no relation with the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland. RESULTS. Treatment consists of wide local surgical excision with its capsule, in its entirety. CONCLUSIONS These tumours of the ocular adnexa are exceedingly rare. Malignant transformation is possible.
