Abstract
Parachordoma is a very rare, slow-growing, and low-grade malignant tumor that occurs in the extremities and trunk. The differential diagnosis includes extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma and chordoma in the histologic finding. Thus, histologic findings with immunohistochemistry may be helpful in distinguishing parachordoma from extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma and chordoma. I report with a brief review of literatures one case of parachordoma of the chest wall which was successfully treated by en-bloc resection and chest wall reconstruction using 2 mm Gore-Tex$^{\circledR}$ soft tissue patch and free from recurrence for 16 months.
