Parachordoma is a soft tissue tumor that has a light microscopic appearance similar to that of chordoma, and the immunostaining properties of the two tumors are alike. The clinical findings and light microscopy of one case of parachordoma are presented together with ultrastructural observations on this tumor and parachordomas from five additional patients.

Parachordoma is a rare soft tissue mixed tumor, associated with soft tissue myoepithelioma. It is typically growing slowly and considered less aggressive than other similar soft tissue tumors. However, it does recur sporadically, and on rare occasions, it has demonstrated the ability to metastasize.

Parachordoma is a rare entity with less than 50 cases described in the literature. This soft-tissue tumor resembles chordomas as well as extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas and has only recently been fully characterized. Here we describe the case of a patient with a lower back parachordoma and its subsequent postresection recurrence 9 years after the initial procedure, emphasizing the importance of long-term follow-up in individuals with this diagnosis.
