title: Unusual location of chordoma metastasis.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Chordoma is a rare tumor originating from the remnants of the notochord. The tumor is known as locally aggressive with a strong tendency for recurrence rather than metastasis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We reported on a case of a 47-year-old Caucasian male with a history of sacral chordoma with metastasis to the cicatrix.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Skin involvement in chordoma is uncommon but, according to literature, possible. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, there were no reports on incisional chordoma.
