📋Overview
Chordoma is a rare, slow-growing malignant tumor that arises from remnants of the notochord, a structure present during embryonic development. It primarily affects the bones of the skull base and spine. The term 'chordoma' is the modern preferred term; it is not a legacy or synonym for another condition.
