Comments:
Chordoma - Gross Pathology : The gross specimen shown here is a large recurrent sacral chordoma, developing 6 years after initial resection. It measured 14 x 8 x 6 cm and included bone (remnant of sacrum), nerve trunks (roots of lumbosacral plexus), and adherent portion of gluteal muscles.

The cut surface was yellowish white, with a finely lobular texture, mostly solid, with hemorrhagic and cystic areas. The lobules were made of translucent mucoid material.

The discussion of gross features of chordomas is in previous image.
