What Are Spinal Tumors?

Spinal tumors are abnormal tissue growths that develop in or around the spine. They may occur in any part of the spinal column and vary by location, origin, and behavior:

Benign tumors: Noncancerous growths that can still cause pain or nerve compression
Malignant tumors: Cancerous tumors that may spread to or from the spine
Primary tumors: Begin in the spine itself
Secondary (metastatic) tumors: Spread from cancers like lung, breast, or prostate
Intramedullary: Inside the spinal cord
Extradural or intradural-extramedullary: Outside the cord but within or around the spinal canal

Spinal tumors can develop in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), lumbar (lower back), or sacral (pelvic) regions.

Symptoms of a Spinal Tumor

As tumors grow, they can place pressure on spinal nerves or destabilize vertebrae. Symptoms may include:

Persistent or worsening back/neck pain—especially at night
Radiating limb pain, numbness, or tingling
Muscle weakness, gait instability, or falls
Loss of bowel or bladder control
Unexplained fatigue or weight loss

Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid long-term neurological damage and preserve function.
