Summary

This study reports the first case of a hand metastasis from a sacral chordoma after carbon ion radiotherapy. Early systemic examination is crucial for chordoma patients due to the high risk of distant metastasis.

Background:

Chordomas are rare, low-grade malignant tumors originating from notochordal remnants along the axial skeleton.
These tumors exhibit slow growth, a prolonged disease course, and a tendency for local recurrence.
A significant proportion (up to 40%) of non-cranial chordomas are known to metastasize.

Observation:

This report details the first documented instance of a hand metastasis.
The metastasis originated from a conventional sacral chordoma.
The patient had previously undergone carbon ion radiotherapy.

Findings:

The case highlights an unusual presentation of chordoma metastasis to the hand.
It underscores the potential for distant spread even after radiotherapy.

This metastasis occurred in the context of a sacral chordoma.

Implications:

The findings emphasize the importance of thorough systemic examination in chordoma management.
Early detection of distant metastases may improve patient prognosis.
This case expands the understanding of chordoma metastatic patterns and treatment implications.
