Abstract
Chordoma is a rare slow-growing neoplasm arising from notochordal remnants. In the United States, the annual incidence of chordoma is 0.08 per 100,000 and is more common in men than in women. The most common locations of chordoma are the cranial (32%), spinal (32.8%), and sacral (29.2%) regions [1]. We report an unusual case of pleural chordoma in a 45-year-old man.
