Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Parachordoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm.
  • It requires differentiation from chordoma and chondrosarcoma due to distinct clinical management and outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case of parachordoma in a 20-year-old female is presented.
  • The tumor manifested as a slow-growing, painless mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the left hand.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis revealed lobules of physaliphorous cells within fibrous septa, forming alveolar structures.
  • Immunohistochemistry demonstrated positivity for cytokeratin 8/18, S-100 protein, and vimentin.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of parachordoma is crucial for appropriate treatment and prognosis.
  • This case highlights the successful surgical management and favorable outcome for a patient with a hand parachordoma.
