[The chordoma. Description of 2 clinical cases and results of oncolytic chemotherapy].
Only seven hundred cases of chordoma approximatively are reported in medical literature from 1850 to date. We now describe two cases recently observed at our Medical Division, one of sacro-coccigeal chordoma and the other developed from clivus of Blumenbach. Their peculiarities are briefly discussed and compared with a rapid revision of the literature on this argument. The results of antiblastic therapy are presented and its opportunity in addition to Roentgenologic and surgical therapy is discussed.
