Abstract

Chordoma is a rare malignant tumour that takes its origin from a persisting remnant of the notochord. It is slow growing and locally invasive. The signs and symptomps are dependent on the site of the lesion. The treatment is surgical. But because of the close location with vital structures and deep location, the complate resection can not be performed to skull base chordomas. Thus postoperative radiotherapy is required. Prognosis is poor. In this study, three skull base chordoma cases were presented as a rare clinical picture. The literature was reviewed and the characteristics of the disease were discussed.

Özet

Kordoma, notokord kalıntısından kaynaklanan nadir malign bir tümördür. Yavaş büyür ve lokal invazyon özelliği gösterir. Semptom ve bulgular lezyonun lokalizasyonuna bağlı ortaya çıkar. Tedavisi cerrahidir. Ancak kafa tabanı kordoması derin lokalizasyonu ve önemli yapılarla olan komşuluğu nedeniyle tam rezeksiyona izin vermez. Bu nedenle postoperatif radyoterapi gereklidir. Prognozu kötüdür. Bu çalışmada kafa tabanı kordomalı üç olgu nadir bir klinik tablo olması nedeniyle sunulmuştur. Literatür gözden geçirilerek hastalığın karakteristikleri tartışılmıştır.
