Chordomas are rare bone tumors. They represent 2 to 3% of primary bone tumors, affecting the sacral parts in the majority of cases. They are characterized by their insidious evolution. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis, particularly with standard radiography and CT scans, allowing an optimal evaluation of bone involvement, while MRI specifies the degree of invasion of soft tissue and neighboring structures. Ultrasound is also used to guide biopsy procedures, and interventional radiology, through the combination of angiography and radiological embolization, can limit the risk of bleeding during surgery. We report two observations illustrating the role of radiology at the diagnostic and therapeutic level in two patients diagnosed with chordoma.
