Fig. 6 — Clivus chordoma (conventional chordoma). An approximately 60-year-old male with polyopia. a Sagittal non-contrast computed tomography shows isodensity mass compared to white matter. Some hyperdensity area is observed suggesting sequestered fragments of the destroyed bone (arrows). b On sagittal T1WI, the mass shows hypointensity compared to white matter. Some small hyperintensity foci are observed in the mass (arrowhead). Pituitary gland is mildly pushed upward by the mass with normal hyperintensity in the posterior pituitary gland (arrow). c On sagittal T2WI, the mass shows marked hyperintensity (arrow) with hypointensity septations (arrowhead). d Sagittal contrast-enhanced T1WI shows moderate contrast enhancement in the mass (arrow), weaker than the pituitary contrast enhancement (arrowhead). e Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) shows isointensity compared to white matter in the mass (mean apparent diffusion coefficient = 1.4 × 10^–3 mm²/s) (arrow)
