- Abstract
This article focuses on the treatment of a 69-year-old woman with physaliphorous cells in chordoma. The woman with progressive lower back pain was found to have a presacral mass. The mass involved the sacrum, infiltrated the sacral foramina, obscured sacral nerve roots, extended into the pelvis, and displaced the uterus and rectum. A diagnosis of chordoma was made, which was later confirmed through histologic analysis of the resected tumor tissue. Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor derived from embryonic notochordal remnants, in any part of the axial skeleton, predominantly in sacrococcygeal or sphenooccipital regions.
