What Are Spinal Tumors?

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that occur in or around the spinal column. They may be:

  • Benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous)
  • Primary, originating in the spine, or secondary, spreading from cancers like breast, lung, or prostate
  • Found inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), inside the canal but outside the cord (intradural-extramedullary), or outside the canal in the vertebrae (extradural)

Tumors can appear in any region of the spine—cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), lumbar (lower back), or sacral (pelvis)—and often affect nerves, spinal stability, and overall function.

Symptoms of a Spinal Tumor

Spinal tumors can cause progressive symptoms, which may include:

  • Persistent or worsening back/neck pain, especially at night
  • Numbness, tingling, or pain radiating into the arms or legs
  • Muscle weakness, coordination issues, or trouble walking
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Unexplained fatigue or weight loss

If you’re noticing these signs, early evaluation is critical. NYSI Commack will refer you for MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging to quickly and accurately identify spinal tumors.
