Abstract

BACKGROUND: Clival chordomas are a rare type of cancer with low metastatic potential and primary metastasize to the lung or bones.

CASE DESCRIPTION: This case report describes a possible metastatic, paravertebral chordoma at level C4-C5 in a patient with a past medical history of a clival chordoma.

CONCLUSION: Chordomas are unpredictable and may metastasise.
