Unusual location of chordoma metastasis.

2014 
BACKGROUND: Chordoma is a rare tumor originating from the remnants of the notochord. The tumor is known as locally aggressive with a strong tendency for recurrence rather than metastasis. CASE REPORT: We reported on a case of a 47-year-old Caucasian male with a history of sacral chordoma with metastasis to the cicatrix. CONCLUSIONS: Skin involvement in chordoma is uncommon but, according to literature, possible. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, there were no reports on incisional chordoma.
