Abstract
A case of thoracic chordoma successfully treated with surgical excision is reported and described. Thoracic chordomata presenting as posterior superior mediastinal tumors occur infrequently and may be highly malignant lesions. Early radical surgery through thoracotomy provide the best hope of cure, and radiation offers only temporary regression of tumor.Entities:
