This case study highlights a rare cervical chordoma with an 11-year survival. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this challenging spinal tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chordomas are rare bone tumors, with cervical spine chordomas being particularly infrequent.
  • Accurate initial diagnosis can be challenging due to limitations in imaging modalities like CT myelography or MRI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of cervical chordoma with a notable long-term survival.
  • To review literature for survival data on cervical chordoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Literature review of cervical chordoma cases with long-term survival.

Main Results:

  • The described case achieved 11 years of survival.
  • Four other cases of cervical chordoma with over 10 years of survival were identified in the literature.

  • Tumor bulk, surgical excision completeness, radiotherapy availability, and tumor biology are key survival determinants.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cervical chordoma is a rare diagnosis with challenging treatment and variable prognosis.
    • Long-term survival is possible, as evidenced by this case and literature review.
    • Further research into survival statistics specific to cervical chordoma is warranted.
