[Chordoma cutis, an unusual clinical presentation of a rare neoplasm: Chordoma]

Chordoma cutis represents an unusual clinical presentation of a rare neoplasm. The involvement of skin or sub-cutaneous soft tissues can be the consequence of local infiltration or metastasis; the latter may occur several years following the initial diagnosis of chordoma and therefore, may pose a diagnosis challenge when the clinical history of the patient is unknown. The clinical forms, morphology, immuno-histochemical profile and the main differential diagnoses of chordoma cutis are presented here through an anatomoclinical case.
