A case of malignant chondroid syringoma occurring in a 52-year-old female is reported. The tumour presented as a large, cystic lesion of the thigh. Local recurrence and secondary deposits in the inguinal region occurred at an early stage. The rarity of these malignant tumours and metastasising sweat gland tumours in general is emphasised.
