Abstract
We report a very rare case of abdominal parachordoma. Parachordoma is indolent in nature, grows slowly and it has occasional recurrence after 3 months to 12 years and rare metastases.
A 70-year-old female presented to our Department complaining of abdominal pain. Clinical examination showed a tumor mass in the pelvis and abdomen. Surgery was indicated. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of resected tumor tissue confirmed the diagnosis of parachordoma with metastases in the sigma and omentum.
