Chordoma with cutaneous metastasis.
Chordoma is a neoplasm arising from the primitive notochord. Even though many chordomas follow a progressive course with multiple recurrences and metastases and eventual death due to tumor, reports of skin metastases from chordoma are rare. This report describes a case of chordoma with metastasis to the scalp in a 67-year-old man with a primary lesion of the sacrococcygeal region.
