Abstract
A 25-year-old black woman had a deformed right great toe. X-ray examin ation revealed extensive lytic change in the distal phalanx, to which technetium uptake was limited. The amputation specimen revealed a beni gn chondroid syringoma in the subungual tissue that penetrated and per meated the bone. Chondroid syringoma is rare in the foot, and we prese nt what we believe is the first such immunohistochemically confirmed c ase involving bone.
