Background

Cutaneous Cartilaginous Tumor, also known as Chondromacutis, is a rare benign tumour of the skin that develops in the hands and feet. It is extremely rare to find lesions located in the neck. It typically occurs in adults aged 30-60 years and is rare in children, with no gender predilection. The disease may have a mesenchymal cellular origin. The tumour is located in the dermis and may involve subcutaneous tissue.

The swelling gradually increased in size and she presented to the dermatology department. Histopathological examination confirmed Cutaneous Cartilaginous Tumor.
