Surgical Management of Sacral Chordomas: Illustrative Cases and Current Management Paradigms. Cure¯us Pendharkar, A. V., Ho, A. L., Sussman, E. S., Desai, A. 2015; 7 (8)

Abstract

Sacral chordomas represent more than 50% of all sacral tumors. These slow-growing, malignant lesions present insidiously and are often large and intimately involved with sacral neurovascular and pelvic structures. En bloc resection is the only well-established predictor of progression-free survival. Optimal surgical management requires a complex multi-disciplinary approach. Here, we describe two cases of sacral chordoma and review current management paradigms.
