A member asked:

Burning anus/tailbone pain. sensitivity in area. is this a symptom of a chordoma or am i ridiculous for thinking this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exclude hemorrhoids: Rare diagnoses are rarely correct. Chordoma is an uncommon tumor. It would be prudent to rule out hemorrhoids, that seem to be able to explain your symptoms, before considering other diagnoses.
