Chordomas, rare malignant bone tumors, pose diagnostic challenges due to associated biopsy risks. Radiological evaluation, particularly CT and MRI, plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment planning. This study presents a crosssectional review of clivus chordoma cases at a tertiary care cancer hospital. Six cases were analyzed. Histopathological examination identified chondroid chordoma in two cases, while radiological features aided in diagnosing two cases. Imaging revealed sellar region involvement, optic nerve compression, and spinal extension. CT and MRI are indispensable for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
