The Role of Radiation Therapy as an Adjuvant Treatment in Nodal Metastasis of Malignant Chondroid Syringoma

Malignant chondroid syringomas (MCSs) are extremely rare and aggressive skin tumors, and wide surgical excision is the main treatment. They can progress with local recurrence and nodal and distant metastasis. The role of radiotherapy is uncertain, but may enhance local control after surgical approach. We report a case of a 60-year-old female with this disease that, four years after surgical resection, presented with nodal metastasis and was managed with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.
