title: Chondroid chordoma of petrous temporal bone with extensive recurrence and pulmonary metastases.
abstract: Chondroid chordoma is a variant of chordoma; it may rarely involve the petrous temporal bone and has a high propensity for recurrence. Chordoma rarely metastasizes but it is, nevertheless, associated with a poor outcome. We report a rare case of chondroid chordoma with extensive recurrence and pulmonary metastases.
