Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chordomas are locally aggressive tumors that arise from embryonic remnants of the notochord. They typically occur at the sacrococcygeal or spheno-occipital regions, but when they occur in the vertebral column, they tend to cross the adjacent intervertebral discs and involve adjacent segments. Hemangioma, giant cell tumor, and aneurysmal bone cysts do not usually cross the intervertebral disc to involve adjacent segments.
