Chordoma is a rare slow-growing neoplasm thought to arise from cellular remnants of the notochord. The evidence for this is the location of the tumors (along the neuraxis ), the similar immunohistochemical staining patterns, and the demonstration that notochordal cells are preferentially left behind in the clivus and sacrococcygeal regions when ...
The evidence regarding brachyury's role in chordoma includes: Brachyury is highly expressed in all chordomas except for the dedifferentiated subtype, which accounts for less than 5% of cases. [44] Germ line duplication of the brachyury gene is responsible for familial chordoma. [45] A germline SNP in brachyury is present in 97% of chordoma ...
Familial adenomatous polyposis is a cancer syndrome in which there are hundreds to thousands of benign adenomas in the colon.. A hereditary cancer syndrome (familial/family cancer syndrome, inherited cancer syndrome, cancer predisposition syndrome, cancer syndrome, etc.) is a genetic disorder in which inherited genetic mutations in one or more genes predispose the affected individuals to the ...

Carney triad (CT), named for J Aidan Carney, is considered to be a specific type of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). The three classically associated tumors are a subset of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma (it is now known that this subset is actually gastrointestinal stromal tumor arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
