Abstract
Chordomas are rare, slowly growing, locally aggressive neoplasms of bone that arise from embryonic remnants of the notochord. Chordomas account for 2%–4% of all primary malignant bone tumors and are the most common primary malignant sacral tumors, with the exception of lympho-proliferative diseases. At imaging, a chordoma typically manifests as a large destructive sacral mass with secondary soft tissue extension. We report two cases of confirmed sacral chordoma; detailing their radiological aspects as well as the therapeutic management.
