Chordoma is rare, slow growing but locally aggressive neoplasms derived from primitive notochordal elements. It accounts for 1-4% of all primary bone tumors and mainly found in the sacrococcygeal and spheno-occipital regions. Preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) examination of the tumor is diagnostic. Treatment is in the form of surgical excision, radiation therapy or a combination of both modalities. FNAC improves prognosis and survival rate due to early diagnosis.
