case_images: The extracted specimens were placed into formalin and submitted to pathology (Fig. 2).
case_images: Hematoxylin and eosin staining of submitted specimen under 100x microscopy demonstrating myxoid matrix with nests of tumor cells with a physaliphorous, or bubbly and vacuolated, appearance. In the background there is fibrin and necrosis. Sample conclusive for sacral chordoma.
