Chordoma is a rare malignant bone tumor originating from the embryonic notochord. Herein, we present a case of thoracic chordoma located at T3-T5 that was misdiagnosed as primary mediastinal adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and the disease showed little response. Due to vertebral body invasion, we performed en bloc mass removal and partial corpectomy (T4-5) in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons.
脊索瘤是一种起源于胚胎脊索的罕见恶性骨肿瘤。在此,我们报告一例位于T3 - T5的胸椎脊索瘤,该病例最初被误诊为原发性纵隔腺癌。患者接受了新辅助放化疗,但病情反应不佳。由于椎体受侵,我们与骨科医生合作,实施了整块肿物切除及部分椎体切除术(T4 - 5)。
