    Summary

    Intrasellar chordomas are rare tumors presenting with hormonal insufficiency. Diagnosis requires histology, and prognosis is poor due to common recurrence after surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Chordomas are rare bone tumors that can occur in the skull base.
    • Intrasellar chordomas, located within the pituitary gland's sella turcica, are exceptionally uncommon.

    Observation:

    • The study reviews two rare cases of intrasellar chordoma.
    • Patients presented with endocrinological disorders, specifically hormonal insufficiency, not hypersecretion.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis of intrasellar chordoma.
    • These tumors often reach a significant size, leading to challenges in complete surgical removal.

    Implications:

    • The significant size and location of intrasellar chordomas contribute to a high rate of postoperative recurrence.
    • The middle-term prognosis for intrasellar chordoma is generally poor due to the high recurrence rate and surgical challenges.
