Preface

Notochord associated neoplasms of the vertebral column are comprised of benign notochordal cell tumour, ecchordosis physaliphora and chordoma. Notochordal-type vertebral lesion is additionally denominated as benign chordoma, notochordal rest, giant notochordal rest, giant notochordal hamartoma, ecchordosis physaliphorous vertebralis, benign notochordal lesion or benign notochordal cell tumour.
