Chordomas are rare, slowly growing, aggressive primary bone tumors that originate from notochord remnants and occur almost exclusively in the axial skeleton. Here, we describe a patient with an enlarging right-sided neck mass that was later diagnosed as a sternoclavicular joint chondroid chordoma. En bloc surgical resection was accomplished with negative margins. The patient continues to do well 15 months after resection without radiotherapy. This case highlights the importance of considering a wide differential in managing sternoclavicular joint tumors.
脊索瘤是一种罕见的、生长缓慢但具有侵袭性的原发性骨肿瘤，起源于脊索残余组织，几乎仅发生于中轴骨骼。在此，我们描述一名患者，其右侧颈部肿物逐渐增大，后来被诊断为胸锁关节软骨样脊索瘤。手术整块切除，切缘阴性。患者术后15个月情况良好，未接受放疗。该病例强调了在处理胸锁关节肿瘤时考虑广泛鉴别诊断的重要性。
