The Surgical Approach Combined With Minimally Invasive Surgery for Sacral Chordoma

Sacral chordomas are malignant, locally aggressive, and rare tumors. Its presentation can be diverse on the entire spine, being more frequent in the sacrococcygeal region. The main treatment is complete surgical resection, which can be performed using different approaches depending on the case. We p...

Sumario:Sacral chordomas are malignant, locally aggressive, and rare tumors. Its presentation can be diverse on the entire spine, being more frequent in the sacrococcygeal region. The main treatment is complete surgical resection, which can be performed using different approaches depending on the case. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of a complex adnexal mass, with an imaging finding of a presacral mass displacing the uterus and rectum, with a histological report of an image-guided biopsy suggestive of a soft-tissue myoepithelioma-like tumor, which was managed with a combined approach: anterior transabdominal laparoscopic and posterior approach, achieving complete tumor resection, without postoperative complications and with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. The pathology report of the surgical piece was compatible with sacral chordoma.
