Malignant chondroid syringomas are extremely rare adnexal tumors of the skin, so far reported only in six cases, all females. The present case occurred in a male. There were multiple nodules in the left lower limb of long duration. The malignant nature of the tumor was evident from repeated recurrences after excision of the nodules. The excised nodules showed cellular pleomorphism and mitoses. Lack of response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy led to mid‐thigh amputation.
