Huge sellar chordoma: CT demonstration.
The authors report the computed tomographic (CT) findings in a patient with an unusual large intracranial chordoma involving the midline sellar region. This rare intracranial tumor is reviewed in the literature, and in particular the values of CT evaluations are detailed in the presented case with a special reference to differential diagnosis of the tumors in and around the sella turcica.
