Chordomas are tumors arising from remnants of the embryological notochord, most commonly found in the spheno-occipital, spinal, or sacro-coccygeal areas. They are rare tumors in the pediatric population and are challenging to manage due to their difficult accessibility, proximity to important anatomy and extension into adjacent structures. We report a series of 10 children treated for chordoma at The Hospital for Sick Children focusing on their surgery, adjuvant therapy and long-term outcomes.
