  • Title: Multiple synchronous spinal extra-osseous intradural chordomas: is it a distinct entity?
    Author: Badwal S, Pal L, Basu A, Saxena S.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2006 Apr; 20(2):99-103. PubMed ID: 16753627.
    Abstract:
    Chordomas are most commonly of extradural origin and are associated with bone destruction. Extra-osseous intradural chordomas are extremely rare and most of the cases described are located near the clivus. We report an extremely rare case of multiple extra-osseous intraspinal chordomas in a 36-year-old male patient with autopsy findings. This case highlights that behaviour of spinal intradural chordomas is not universally low grade, but is variable and aggressive.
