Abstract
CT [computed tomography] scans (25) of 21 patients who had chordomas in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine were reviewed. Nine patients were studied at the time of initial presentation and 12 after tumor recurrence. All scans showed vertebral body destruction coupled with an associated soft tissue mass located anteriorly or laterally. Additional CT findings included septated areas of low attenuation within the tumor, amorphous soft tissue calcification, tumor extension into the spinal canal, disc space involvement and contrast enhancement.
