Jihane EH, Nabil MB, Ittimade N. Chondroid chordoma within dorsal spine. Int J Case Rep Images 2022;13:101290Z01EJ2022.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Chordoma is an extremely rare malignant bone tumor that mainly affects the sacrococcygeal and spheno-occipital regions. Localization in the spine is exceptional and occurs mainly in young individuals.
Case Report: We report the case of a 32-year-old male patient with a chondroid chordoma in the dorsal spine which is a very rare histological subtype of chordoma.
Conclusion: The chondroid chordoma is an uncommon malignant bone tumor. An intrathoracic chordoma manifesting as a posterior mediastinal tumor is unusual, it appears especially in young individuals. The imaging helps to allow a better characterization of the tumor.
Keywords: Cartilaginous matrix, Chondroid chordoma, Thoracic spine
