Abstract
Chordomas are rare, slow-growing tumors, resulting from the notochord (an embryonic mesodermal structure that gives rise to the axial skeleton). They comprise less than 1 % of CNS tumors. Although chordomas predominantly affect middle-aged or elderly adults, they are also seen in the pediatric population. It rarely affects children and adolescents (<5 % of all chordomas cases). The Authors present a case of skull base chordoma invading the nasopharynx and pushing the adenoids in nasal choana thus simulating an adenoidal hypertrophy.
