The biological nature of chordomas is always fascinating: not least because there has been the odd adult patient, 60 years of age, who had a sacral chordoma excised, was then afflicted with a large intrathoracic tumour of similar nature 2 years later. That he is alive and well after a second major surgery makes me re-examine the capricious nature of this tumour.
