The case of a 74-year-old woman with chondroid chordoma is presented. This tumor is an uncommon variant of typical chordoma and occurs in less than 1% of all intracranial tumors. The mean age of occurrence is approximately 36 years, 38 years younger than the woman in this study. Classical symptoms of intracranial chordoma were noted in this patient, including headaches, diplopia, third nerve palsy and sixth nerve palsy. Differentiation of this tumor from classic chordoma is important because chondroid chordoma has a substantially superior progress.
本文介绍了一名74岁患软骨样脊索瘤女性的病例。该肿瘤是典型脊索瘤的一种罕见变体，在所有颅内肿瘤中发生率不到1%。其平均发病年龄约为36岁，比本研究中的该女性患者年轻38岁。该患者出现了颅内脊索瘤的典型症状，包括头痛、复视、动眼神经麻痹和展神经麻痹。将这种肿瘤与经典脊索瘤区分开来很重要，因为软骨样脊索瘤的进展明显更好。
