Abstract

Introduction: Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor that arises from remnants cells of the primitive notochord, which are located at caudal and cephalic ends of the vertebral column. It represents 2 to 5 % of all primary bone tumors. Description: We report the case of a patient with a clival chordoma, asymptomatic, diagnosed as an accidental finding in a paranasal sinus. imaging study. Discussion: The imaging findings were suggestive of a potentially malignant lesion given the underlying bone lysis. Once the diagnosis is histological, biopsy of clival suspicious lesions should be promptly carried out. In this case report, the surgical approach and the postoperative follow-up are presented.
