title: Maxillary surgical seeding of a clival chordoma.
abstract: Seeding on surgical pathway is a rare form of clival chordoma treatment failure. We report the case of a 42-year-old male with a clival chondroid chordoma removed by a sublabial transsphenoidal approach followed by proton beam radiotherapy, who developed a maxillary bone recurrence 3 years after surgery.
