Summary:INTRODUCTIONChordoma is a malignant neoplasm that arises from notochord remnants. Its incidence is highest above the age of 50 and behaves as a locally aggressive tumor with a slow growth rate. In most cases, complete surgical resection followed by radiotherapy offers the best chance of control. Developing metachronous tumors or distant metastasis is uncommon.CASE REPORTA 56-year-old male patient of sacral chordoma was treated by surgery and radiotherapy. He developed later bilateral inguinal lymph node metastasis and metachronous clivus chordoma.CONCLUSIONChordomas are rare. Multiplicity of primary disease and distant metastasis could happen, so regular follow-up is warranted and more effective therapeutic modalities are needed.
