ABSTRACT
The chondroid chordoma is a low to intermediate level of malignancy tumor that is extremely rare in patients under
20-years. It originates from the remnants of the primitive notochord. When this tumor appears in childhood there is
not certain age prevalence, even though is well known that the most common localization is coccygeal sacrum. In the
following paperwork is presented a clinical case of a two years old female patient with a history of subacute flaccid
paralysis that turned out to be a tumor originated in the primitive notochord, which got a favorable clinical course after
the intervention of a multidisciplinary team, this case required surgical treatment and chemotherapy. Currently she has
overcome successfully the surveillance stage and nowadays she is considered a complete healed patient.
