Abstract
AGUILAR-PEREZ, Roberto C. and CHAVEZ-MERCADO, Leonora. Chordoma with extension to the nasal cavity: A case presentation. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.82, n.2, pp.108-111. Epub Sep 06, 2021. ISSN 2524-177X. https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.m19000019.
Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor originating from remnants of the notochord, slow-growing, but locally destructive, of presentation in the clivus, spinal cord region and sacrum. It is diagnosis can be a challenge for the various differential to consider that can be found with more often, especially when manifested as bulky lesions in the nasopharyngeal area and/or with symptoms secondary to it. As if that were not enough small biopsies often are insufficient for correct diagnosis.
