Abstract:
Chordoma is an uncommon neoplasia with very aggressive behavior and very high local recurrence rate. It remains a difficult problem for the surgeon. A case of cervical chordoma in a 30 years old woman is reported. The patient had a retropharyngeal mass and changes in the quality of speech. A transoral approach was used to obtain complete removal. The biological, clinical and diagnostic characteristic of cervical chordomas are reviewed.
