摘要
Chondrosarcoma and chordoma are often grouped together because of their similar anatomic locations, clinical presentations, histopathological and radiological findings, and growth patterns. In the present study, we investigated the clinical and prognostic differences of chondrosarcomas and chordomas of the skull base and spine.We accessed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to search for patients from 2000 to 2018 with chondrosarcomas and chordomas of the skull base and spine for inclusion in the present study.We included 1346 and 1536 cases of chondrosarcoma and chordoma for analysis, respectively. Chondrosarcomas of the cranial base and spine were seen in younger patients and were associated with a larger tumor size compared with chordomas. Among the tumors of the skull base, chondrosarcomas were more common in women, with a male predominance found for chordomas. We also observed a male predilection for both spinal chondrosarcomas and chordomas. Distinct metastatic patterns were found for chondrosarcomas versus chordomas, and spinal chondrosarcomas showed a greater risk of distant metastases at presentation compared with spinal chordomas. Cranial base chondrosarcomas were associated with superior outcomes compared with chordomas. However, we demonstrated an opposite survival pattern for spinal chondrosarcomas and chordomas.Chondrosarcomas and chordomas have divergent clinical manifestations and prognoses depending on the anatomic location.
