[Abstract] Skull base chordoma is a rare low-grade malignant tumor. Due to its critical location, local aggressive nature, and high recurrence, skull base chordoma is still a challenge to clinicians. In this review, we summarize the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, imaging features and histopathology of skull base chordoma. Moreover, through the detailed review on this tumor’s clinical type and stage, management, and prognostic factors, we find out that many aspects of the skull base chordoma, at home and abroad, are still significant differences. Further studies are necessary to evaluate these differences of skull base chordoma.
