Demonstration of cytokeratins and an epithelial membrane antigen in chondroid chordoma.
Chondroid chordomas are shown to possess cytokeratins and to stain with HMFG-2 as do ordinary chordomas. These findings support the concepts that these neoplasms are a variant of chordoma and that they are unrelated to myxoid chondrosarcoma.
