What is another word for chondroid chordoma?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒndɹɔ͡ɪd kɔːdˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Chondroid chordoma is a rare bone tumor that typically develops in the base of the skull or the spine. It is a slow-growing tumor that usually does not spread to other parts of the body. However, its location can make it difficult to treat. Synonyms for chondroid chordoma include chordoid sarcoma, chordoma variant, and myxoid chordoma. Unlike other types of chordoma, chondroid chordoma has a distinctive appearance on pathology slides. It is characterized by the presence of chondroid tissue, which gives it a cartilage-like appearance. This can make it easier to diagnose, but still requires expert evaluation by a pathologist with experience in bone tumors.
