Abstract
Chordomas are slow-growing tumors that account for 1-4% of all bone tumors. They are most commonly seen in the sacrum, followed by the base of the skull and spine. Males are affected more than females. A 28-year-old female presented with nasal bleeding and bilateral nasal obstruction for 1 month. Clinical, physical, and radiological examinations revealed a mass in the nasopharynx. The radiological diagnosis was a large polypoidal adenomatous neoplastic mass. However, histopathological examination revealed a chordoma. The nasopharynx is an unusual site for chordoma presentation, and it has a nonspecific clinical and radiological appearance. Hence, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a nasopharyngeal mass.
