Lumbar Chordoma Presenting as an Epidural Collection with Vertebral Destruction- An Unusual Cause of Lumbar Canal Stenosis

Chordomas are locally aggressive neoplastic lesions that arise from physalipherous cell nests that originate from notochordal remnants left behind during early foetal development. Chordomas of the mobile spine (C3-L5) constitute less than 5% of the overall incidence of chordomas in the spine. They...
