To review developments in chordoma treatment.Recent series with prolonged follow-up show that adequate margins are necessary for surgery to be curative. Safe margins are often difficult to obtain due to the anatomical sites of chordoma: sacrum, skull base and spine.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Optimal therapy of chordoma is a combined approach of surgical resection followed by proton beam irradiation for residual disease. The goals of surgery are to establish a definitive diagnosis, obtain total or maximal resection, and "shape" any residual disease so that it is favorable for radiation. Given the difficult locations and large sizes of these

Chordomas are malignant tumors of the axial skeleton, characterized by their locally invasive and slow but aggressive growth. These neoplasms are presumed to be derived from notochordal remnants with a molecular alteration preceding their malignant transformation.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2005
Chordomas are rare malignant primary bone tumors, which most often occur in the sacral area. These tumors uncommonly affect the skin, and may not be recognized by dermatologists. We present a case of an adult woman with cutaneous metastasis of a primary sacral chordoma.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Chordomas constitute between 1% and 4% of primary malignant bone tumors. Approximately 50% originate in the sacrum, 35% at the base of the skull, and 15% in the true vertebrae. The majority of tumors are encountered from the fifth through seventh decades, with a male preponderance.

The British Journal of Radiology, 1977
The clinical and radiological features of 44 cranial chordomas are recorded. Classical features of a mid-line partially calcified tumour, destroying the clivus and causing a soft tissue mass in the sphenoid sinus or nasopharynx were present in about half of the cases. The high incidence of unilateral bone erosion which occurred in nearly a third of the

All patients with chordomas that have been treated in the Dundee neurosurgical unit are reviewed. Five intracranial and two sacral chordomas have presented since the unit opened in 1966. Survival has ranged from one to fifteen years following treatment.

SUMMARY Three cases of clival chordomas are reviewed and the findings are compared to those in the recent literature. In the first case the tumour arose from the basion, spreading downwards to invade the upper cervical canal and the paravertebral fascial planes. The second case is a rare case since it affects a 12 year old pre‐adolescent boy. The third
