  • Title: [The transformation of a cervical chordoma into an anaplastic tumor. A case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Wichmann AP, Latz DM.
    Journal: Strahlenther Onkol; 1993 Feb; 169(2):121-5. PubMed ID: 8451726.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case of a cervical chordoma in a 28-year-old man with local recurrence and metastasis. Particular attention is paid to the fact that complete malignant transformation was observed during the follow-up. A review of the literature is undertaken chronicling the documented associations of chordoma and malignant neoplasm. Followed by a discussion of the three causes proposed to explain this phenomenon. Further on the current opinion on the therapy methods of chordomas is reviewed.
