Definitions |
A chordoma is a tumor that arises from embryonic remnants of the notochord along the length of the neuraxis. Chordomas generally occur in the sacrum, intracranially at the clivus, or along the spinal axis. The notochord is a mesodermal embryonic structure that defines the primitive axis of the embryo and which survives in the adult vertebral column as the intervertebral disks. |
