Chordomas are rare, slow growing malignant tumors derived from notochord remnants that can arise anywhere along the neuronal axis. Chordomas are particularly rare in patients under 20 years of age and tend to be intracranial in location, as opposed to sacrococcygeal in adults. Metastasis at initial presentation is uncommon in all age groups and is exceedingly rare in the absence of local recurrence of the primary tumor. We report a case of advanced clival chordoma with marked nasopharyngeal disease extension and lung metastases at the time of presentation in a pediatric patient.
