Abstract

Sacrococcygeal chordomas are relatively rare, locally invasive, malignant neoplasms. The prognosis for patients with chordoma of the sacrum is reported to be poor, the value of adjuvant treatment is uncertain, and resection remains the primary mode of treatment, even though most of the patients might subsequently have significant complications. Neurologic impairment and disability are the most common complications. The severity and extent of neurological impairment depends upon the level of tumor involvement. Chordomas are difficult to excise completely, but recent improvements in imaging and surgical techniques have allowed surgeons to perform more frequently en-bloc sacral resections with wide surgical margins. In this paper we review the clinical presentation and discuss the current treatment techniques and outcomes.
