Overview
There are three histological variants of chordoma: classical, chondroid and dedifferentiated. The histological appearance of classical chordoma is of a lobulated tumor composed of groups of cells separated by fibrous septa. The cells have small round nuclei and abundant vacuolated cytoplasm, sometimes described as physaliferous (resembling a spider's web). Chondroid chordomas histologically show features of both chordoma and chondrosarcoma.
