Abstract
Chordomas are rare notochordal malignancies typically occurring in the axial skeleton. Less than 100 extra-axial chordomas have been reported. We describe a unique chordoma of the anteromedial thigh. The clinical presentation of extra-axial chordomas is highly variable; thus, recognizing this entity in the differential diagnoses of extra-axial bone/soft tissue tumors is important.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
