Chordoma

Chordoma is a local invasive or malignant tumor. It is a common epidural tumor involving the slope and the tail of the palate. It is formed by residual embryos or ectopic chordoma. It mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people aged 50 to 60, and also occurs at other ages. These tumors can occur anywhere along the central axis of the spine, but the most common are the sloping mouth side and the caudal tail. It grows slowly and tends to be sick for more than 5 years before symptoms appear. Although the growth of chordoma is slow, and distant metastasis (late metastasis) rarely occurs, it is locally destructive, it is harmful to the human body because the tumor continues to grow, and it is easy to relapse after surgery, so it is still a malignant tumor.
