Abstract
A case of presacral chordoma in a 55-year-old male diagnosed by aspiration biopsy cytology Is reported. Cytologically, three cell types were recognized in a mucoid background. large, mononucleated or binucleated physaliphorous cells with vacuolated bubbly cytoplasm; small, uniform and rounded non-vacuolated cells; and cells with microvacuolated and plump cytoplasm. The diagnosis of chordoma was possible because typical radiological and cytomorphological features were supported by the results of special staining and immunohistochemical staining with the cell block specimen obtained from the fine needle aspiration.
