[Pharyngeal chordoma].
Chordoma is a neoplasm arising from embryonal notochord remnants. It is infrequent and rarely located at the cervical level. The diagnosis is histological and immunohistochemical tests are required to differentiate it from other neoplasms. We report a case of pharyngeal chordoma treated with a transmandibular approach. The diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these tumors are reviewed.
