(B) An axial T2-weighted fast spin echo MR image shows a sacral chordoma (arrows) in contact with but not invading the gluteus maximus muscles (arrowheads). (C) A coronal T1-weighted spin echo MR image shows a large sacral chordoma (arrows) invading the right piriformis muscle (arrowheads). (D) An axial T2-weighted fast spin echo MR image shows a sacral chordoma (arrows) invading both gluteus maximus muscles (arrowheads).
