Chondroid chordoma versus low-grade chondrosarcoma of the base of the skull: can immunohistochemistry resolve the controversy?

Abstract:

:The classification of cartilaginous tumors of the skull base, including chondroid chordoma and chondrosarcoma remains the subject of controversy. Critical review of the literature and our own experience of chordomas and cartilaginous tumors of the skull base led to the following conclusions: 1) Chondrosarcoma of the skull base is a distinct clinicopathological entity. The immunohistochemical staining pattern (cytokeratin negative, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) negative) can be helpful in distinguishing it from chordoma with chondroid differentiation (cytokeratin positive, EMA positive). 2) The chondroid chordomas originally described by Heffelfinger et al. may have included some true chondrosarcomas with focal areas of myxoid chordomalike appearance. 3) Focal chondroid differentiation in chordoma is not such a rare phenomenon. Further study is needed to define whether chordoma with chondroid foci should be separated out from conventional chordoma as a distinct entity with a better prognosis.
