Abstract
Parachordoma is a rare soft tissue mixed tumor, associated with soft tissue myoepithelioma. It is typically growing slowly and considered less aggressive than other similar soft tissue tumors. However, it does recur sporadically, and on rare occasions, it has demonstrated the ability to metastasize. Although imaging is important, definitive diagnosis is achieved by histology, and it is typically treated by a wide local excision. We present the first reported case of a skull base parachordoma in a 15-year-old boy, managed with a wide local excision and with no signs of recurrence or metastases after 24 months of follow-up.

Abstract
Adrenal collision tumors (ACTs) are distinct tumors that occur simultaneously in the same adrenal gland and are very rare. We herein report the case of a 56-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital for medical imaging. The findings of the physical and laboratory examinations, including endocrine function, were unremarkable. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a 28×20×33-mm mass in the left adrenal medial limb, for which a laparoscopic surgery was performed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed two distinct tumors, namely a parachordoma and a ganglioneuroma. To the best of our knowledge, and following a thorough literature search, this is the first report of coexisting parachordoma and ganglioneuroma in the same adrenal gland.
