I have a brain tumor, which they are saying is one of two types, either panus, or chordoma. I would like to know if this type panus is rare or not.

Can you provide more information? I am not finding any information regarding "panus brain tumor".

We do have information regarding What is Chordoma? (Expert Video).

Here is more information regarding brain tumors: Top 10 types of Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors.

Do you have your diagnostic results with you?

Anon - Is it possible your doctor meant pannus? Patients with rheumatoid arthritis sometimes develop abnormal, granulated tissue known as rheumatoid pannus. This occurs more frequently than chordoma tumors which are rare.
