Chordoma is generally thought to be a locally invasive tumour of low metastatic potential. Review of the literature suggests that metastatic spread from chordoma is not an uncommon occurrence, but that the metastases are usually clinically silent. We present an unusual case where a metastasis from a sacrococcygeal chordoma produced a syndrome of lumbar root compression after resection of the primary lesion.
脊索瘤通常被认为是一种具有低转移潜能的局部侵袭性肿瘤。文献回顾表明，脊索瘤发生转移并不罕见，但转移灶通常在临床上没有症状。我们报告了一例不寻常的病例，骶尾部脊索瘤的转移灶在原发肿瘤切除后导致了腰椎神经根压迫综合征。
