Chordoma in Ferrets





A chordoma is a tumor believed to originate from the embryonal remnants of the notochord and is usually seen at the tip of the tail, making it look similar to the knob of a club.

They are easily removed surgically and the cancer doesn’t seem to spread to other areas from the tail.

However a chordoma can also appear in a ferret’s cervical region.




To learn more about chordomas, see the following articles ...
