Abstract

A rare soft tissue tumour--chordoid sarcoma of the thigh--in a 52-year-old woman is described. The tumour has a specific histologic structure and resembles a true chordoma. The most frequent site of chordoid sarcoma is the limb soft tissue that is in a direct link with fasciae, tendon sheaths and synovial membranes.

Familial chordoma, a tumor of notochordal remnants, is linked to chromosome 7q33.

Chordoma is a rare tumor originating from notochordal remnants that is usually diagnosed during midlife. We performed a genomewide analysis for linkage in a family with 10 individuals affected by chordoma. The maximum two-point LOD score based on only the affected individuals was 2.21, at recombination fraction 0, at marker D7S2195 on chromosome 7q. Combined analysis of additional members of this family (11 affected individuals) and of two unrelated families (one with 2 affected individuals and the other with 3 affected individuals), with 20 markers on 7q, showed a maximum two-point LOD score of 4.05 at marker D7S500. Multipoint analysis based on only the affected individuals gave a maximum LOD score of 4.78, with an approximate 2-LOD support interval from marker D7S512 to marker D7S684. Haplotype analysis of the three families showed a minimal disease-gene region from D7S512 to D7S684, a distance of 11.1 cM and approximately 7.1 Mb. No loss of heterozygosity was found at markers D7S1804, D7S1824, and D7S2195 in four tumor samples from affected family members. These results map a locus for familial chordoma to 7q33. Further analysis of this region, to identify this gene, is ongoing.

Chordoid meningioma. A case report.

We report on a 62-year-old woman without Castleman's syndrome diagnosed with chordoid meningioma. A white, encapsulated brain tumor was located in the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere of the cerebrum, adhered to the dura, and was separated from the cerebrum. The tumor revealed a multilobular arrangement of two types of neoplastic cells, and the surrounding myxoid stroma was separated by incomplete fibrous septa. Neoplastic cells consisted of myxomatous and meningothelial cells. The former made up about four-fifths of the tumor, had a vacuolar cytoplasm, and were arranged in a chordoma-like cord pattern. They were floating in myxoid stroma. The latter had an eosinophilic spindle or epithelioid cytoplasm and were disposed in lobules. Coarse eosinophilic materials positive for periodic acid-Schiff stain were deposited among them. Transitional cells between two types of cells were also observed. Both neoplastic cells were positive for vimentin and Leu-7 (CD57) in their cytoplasm, and were consistently negative for epithelial membrane antigen, S-100 protein, and cytokeratin.
