Introduction

Sacro-coccygeal chordomas pose a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem due to late presentation, large size, soft-tisue extension, difficulties in obtaining adequate resection margins, higher local recurrence rate and uncertain effectiveness of adjuvant treatment. We present a series of 21 patients of sacral chordomas obtained from Scottish Bone Tumour Registry to analyse predictors of local control and survival.

Patients and methods

The clinical and morphologic features, type of treatment and follow-up of 21 consecutive patients with sacral chordoma were retrospectively reviewed and analysed.
