Chordomas are tumors arising from the embryonic remnants of the notochord. They are locally invasive and in localized stages, complete resection is the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 77-year-old man with recurrent sacrococcygeal chordoma, he was operated by a multidisciplinary group including colorectal-, plastic- and neurosurgeons, obtaining complete en bloc resection with tumor-free margins. Even though 66-75% recur locally in 5 years, most of the patients can increase their survival if margins are tumor-free. The surgery must achieve the R0 exeresis minimizing the risk of rectal injury.

Palabras llave : Sacrococcygeal chordoma; Recurrence; Multidisciplinary treatment.
