Moga powstac w dowolnym miejscu w linii srodkowej ciala, gdzie istniala struna grzbietowa (np. stok, nosogardziel, siodlo i okolica okolosiodlowa, otwór wielki kregi i okolica krzyzowo-ogonowa). Struniaki to wolno rosnace nowotwory, wykazujace miejscowa agresywnosc w stosunku do kosci i tkanek miekkich. Struniaka po raz pierwszy opisal w 1856 roku Virchow i Luschke. Z kolei w 1858 roku Muller stwierdzil, ze nowotwór moze pochodzic z pozostalosci embrionalnych prymitywnej struny grzbietowej tzw. chorda dorsalis. Autorzy przedstawiaja opis przypadku klinicznego leczonego operacyjne w Klinice Neurochirurgii, Neurotraumatologii i Neurochirurgii Dzieciecej Szpitala Uniwersyteckiego nr 1 im. dr A.

Abstract Chordomas are rare, histologically benign but clinically malignant tumors of the axial skeleton. They can occur anywhere in the midline of the body where there notochord (clivus, nasopharynx, saddle and surroundings parasellar, the foramen vertebrae and surroundings sacral area). Chordomas are slow-growing cancer, showing local aggressiveness relative to bone and soft tissue. Chordoma was first described in 1856 by Virchow and Luschke. In turn, in 1858 Muller found that the cancer can come from embryonic remnants of the primitive notochord called chorda dorsalis. The authors present a clinical case operating treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, Neurotraumatology and Pediatric Neurosurgery, Dr Antoni Jurasz University Hospital No.1 in Bydgoszcz histopathological diagnosed with chordoma. Key words: chordoma, cancer, axial skeleton, neurosurgery.
