Manuscript type : Case report
Key words : Sacral chordoma, paediatric cancer, Lung metastases,
poorly differentiated
Key Clinical Message : Sacral chordoma are usually slow-growing.
Distant metastases can be seen on prolonged follow-up, but rarely early
in the disease course. Lung metastasis at presentation and poorly
differentiated tumors have rapid disease progression. Early aggressive
treatment including surgery and/or radiotherapy (RT) with exploration of
targeted therapy may improve outcome.
