Recurrence of clival chordoma along the surgical pathway 37th Annual Meeting of the American-Society-of-Neuroradiology Fischbein, N. J., Kaplan, M. J., Holliday, R. A., Dillon, W. P. AMER SOC NEURORADIOLOGY. 2000: 578–83

Abstract

Chordomas are locally aggressive malignant tumors of notochordal origin whose metastatic potential is increasingly recognized. Surgical pathway recurrence has been noted only rarely in the literature. We present three patients with clival chordomas whose sole or initial recurrence was along the pathway of prior surgical access. A characteristic mass found along the pathway of prior surgical access for resection of a chordoma should suggest recurrent chordoma.
