Chordoma is a rare low-grade malignant tumor originating from embryonic notochordal tissue mainly occurring in the axial bone, mostly in the spheno-occipital junction and sacrococcyx, which accounts for approximately 1% of all malignant bone tumors and 0.1%-0.2% of intracranial tumors. Chordoma in the petrous mastoid region is rare.
