Abstract

Chordoma is a rare, slow-growing but locally aggressive malignant tumour for which little improvement in outcome has been reported. The management of chordoma is controversial and challenging because of their location and often large size at presentation. We report the case of a 57 year old male with radicular compression associated with an L3 chordoma that was successfully treated with a wide excision which responded well to postoperative radiotherapy. Its rare occurrence precludes controlled studies of chordoma; therefore, any response merits reporting
