Abstract

Chordoma is a rare, slow-growing, malignant bone tumor with an insidious presentation. Consequently, diagnosis is often delayed, particularly for sacral tumors, which can reach large proportions before becoming symptomatic. En bloc surgical excision is the most effective treatment. Reconstruction in the sacral region can require complex instrumentation and soft-tissue rearrangement. Optimal patient outcomes require a multidisciplinary approach with contributions from spinal, oncologic, vascular, and plastic surgeons.
