Chordoma is a rare malignant intercranial tumor. Cranial base chordomas usually occur extradurally. In the current study, a 44-year-old man with chordoma in cranial base and paranasal sinuses was reported. The patient was managed with combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Surgical phase comprised anterior cranial base osteotomy, removal of lesions, and replacement of osteotomy segment. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence of lesions. Aggressive surgery with postoperative radiotherapy for treatment of chordoma in the cranial base can be suggested as a proper treatment modality.
脊索瘤是一种罕见的颅内恶性肿瘤。颅底脊索瘤通常发生在硬膜外。在本研究中，报告了一名44岁患有颅底和鼻窦脊索瘤的男性患者。该患者接受了手术和放疗相结合的治疗。手术阶段包括前颅底截骨术、病变切除以及截骨段置换。一年的随访显示没有病变复发的迹象。对于颅底脊索瘤，积极的手术联合术后放疗可作为一种合适的治疗方式。
