ABSTRACT
Chordomas are slowly growing and rare malignant tumors arising from the remnants of the notochord. Furthermore, intrathoracic chordomas presenting as a posterior mediastinal tumor account for only 1~2% of all reported chordomas. Incomplete resection of these tumors can lead to local recurrence, distant metastasis and result in a poor outcome, but complete remission can be expected with complete resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. We report a case of thoracic chordoma presenting as a posterior mediastinal tumor which was successfully treated with complete resection and adjuvant radiotherapy without recurrence and distant metastasis for 2 years.
