    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Neoplasm Research

    Background:

    • Chordomas are low-grade, tenacious, and lethal neoplasms with limited treatment outcome improvements.
    • The rarity of chordomas hinders controlled clinical studies.

    Observation:

    • A sacral chordoma case demonstrated a temporary response to chemotherapy.
    • Hyperthermic chemotherapy was observed to be feasible for treating certain chordomas.

    Findings:

    • The sacral chordoma responded temporarily to chemotherapy.
    • Hyperthermic chemotherapy was evaluated in this case report, demonstrating feasibility.

    Implications:

    • Reporting any chordoma response is crucial due to study limitations.
    • Hyperthermic chemotherapy presents a potential, yet underreported, treatment avenue for chordomas.
