Two cases of cartilaginous tumors located in the dermis are reported. One tumor occurred on the bridge of the nose and was a true cutaneous chondroma. The other arose on the finger and represented a cutaneous calcifying chondroma. Study of these lesions prompted a review of cartilaginous tumors and tumor‐like conditions presenting as cutaneous lesions. A classification proposed includes, in addition to true cutaneous chondromas, developmental anomalies, soft tissue and skeletal tumors and miscellaneous lesions.
