ULTRASTRUCTURE OF CHORDOMA: A Case Report
A 50‐year‐old male developed a sacro‐coccygeal chordoma. Prior to the surgery, he had experienced back‐pain, numbness of the right thigh and difficulty in voiding and defecation. Total excision of the mass was done and all symptoms were relieved. The light microscopic examination revealed a chordoma...
