Cytodiagnosis of Sacral Chordoma.
We report the cytological findings of a sacro-coccygeal chordoma in a 53 year male diagnosed preoperatively by guided fine needle aspiration cytology. The smears shows characteristic Physalliphorous cells in a metachromatic background of myxoid material entrapping cords of cuboidal cells. Differential diagnosis in cytology include conventional and myxoid chondrosarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, myxo...
متن کاملSurgical management of sacral chordoma.
Treatment results of 17 patients who were diagnosed with sacral chordoma between 1993 and 2007, were analyzed retrospectively. The mean duration of symptoms was 30.2 months. The mean tumour size was 10.7 cm; the location was S2 or more proximal in ten-patients. A wide resection was achieved in 14 patients, a marginal resection in one patient and two patients had intralesional excision. Seven pa...
متن کاملSacral Chordoma: Challenging for Resection Margin
Differential diagnosis is important for the surgical and the postsurgical management of a chordoma. The accurate diagnosis of tumors is of valuable prognostic significance. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy or core-needle biopsy in the case of bony lesions has been suggested to be the most oncologically sound approach to establish a diagnosis before resection, with care to avoid tumor seeding [5, 7...
متن کاملCutaneous Metastasis from Sacral Chordoma: A Case Report
Chordoma is a malignant, slow growing and locally aggressive tumor. It arises from remnants of the notochord and accounts for 1–4% of all primary bone tumors. They usually arise from anywhere along the spine, from base of the skull to the sacrococcygeal area and usually do not metastasize. Chordomas are slow-growing tumors which are not responsive to conventional chemotherapy or radiation. They...
متن کاملTotal resection of inferiorly located sacral chordoma with posterior only approach: case report and review of the literature.
Chordoma is a primary sacral neoplasm of ectodermal origin and makes up %1- 4 of all primary bone tumors. It is usually present on the midline cerebrospinal axis and the most common locations are the spheno-clival region and the sacrum. The treatment of primary sacral tumors represents a challenge because of a large tumor mass at presentation and a hemorrhage risk in surgery. Sacral tumors may ...
