Chondroid syringoma is a rare mixed tumor of the skin composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Although most are benign, malignant forms have been reported. Malignant chondroid syringoma may progress very slowly and the metastatic spread occurs late, appearing years after the original diagnosis. There is only one other report of spinal cord compression secondary to metastasis of malignant chondroid syringoma, which was finally diagnosed by microscopic examination of an autopsy specimen.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>This 63-year-old woman presented with a 4-week history of progressive paraparesis. Admission MRI of the thoracic spine showed an extradural mass arising from the posterior elements and left pedicle of T-9, which caused posterior compression of the spinal cord. Surgical decompression resulted in resolution of the neurological impairments. The histological results were consistent with metastasis of malignant chondroid syringoma. The patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and a favorable outcome was noted at the 2-year follow-up visit. This represents the first reported case of spinal cord compression from a metastasis of a malignant chondroid syringoma histologically confirmed in vivo. The authors' experience in this case suggests that resection followed by radiotherapy might be an acceptable means for achieving short-term, progression-free survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.9.spine14360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,2]],"date-time":"2015-01-02T14:59:58Z","timestamp":1420210798000},"page":"310-313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Spinal cord compression secondary to metastasis of malignant chondroid syringoma: case report"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Ricardo H.","family":"Men\u00e9ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosciences,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Santiago G.","family":"Erice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosciences,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Bas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Oncology, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology, Hospital Aleman, Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Horacio S.","family":"Dillon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosciences,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-spine14360","series-title":"J Dermatol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"547","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1998.tb02453.x","article-title":"Malignant chondroid syringoma","volume":"25","author":"Agrawal","year":"1998"},{"key":"b2-spine14360","series-title":"J Craniofac Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"514","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e31824cd493","article-title":"Malignant chondroid syringoma with central nervous system involvement","volume":"23","author":"Ara\u00fajo","year":"2012"},{"key":"b3-spine14360","series-title":"Am J Clin Oncol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1097\/00000421-200006000-00003","article-title":"Recurrent malignant chondroid syringoma of the foot: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"23","author":"Barnett","year":"2000"},{"key":"b4-spine14360","series-title":"Am J Dermatopathol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1097\/00000372-199802000-00007","article-title":"Atypical mixed tumor of the skin: histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features in three cases and a review of the criteria for malignancy","volume":"20","author":"Bates","year":"1998"},{"key":"b5-spine14360","series-title":"Arch Dermatol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"835","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1961.01580170129018","article-title":"Chondroid syringoma.
