A rare facial chordoma was initially misdiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis of this rare bone tumor is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Chordomas are rare malignant bone tumors originating from notochordal remnants.
  • Facial and skull base chordomas present diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and varied clinical presentation.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old man presented with facial pain and a malar mass, initially diagnosed as a vascular malformation.
  • Repeat biopsy suggested an epithelioid nerve sheath tumor, prompting surgical planning for extensive resection.
  • Surgical removal achieved tumor-free margins along the maxillary nerve.

Findings:

  • Pathological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed a typical chordoma without dedifferentiation.
  • The tumor involved the infraorbital, malar, infratemporal, and pterygopalatine fossae.

Implications:

  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of facial chordomas is critical for appropriate management.
  • Increased utilization of immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy can aid in prompt diagnosis.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in persistent or atypical presentations.
