What is a Spinal Tumor?

A spinal tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within or around the spinal cord and vertebral column. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and may arise from the spine itself (primary tumors) or spread from other parts of the body (metastatic tumors). Depending on their type and location—inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), around the spinal cord (intradural-extramedullary), or within the bones of the spine (vertebral)—spinal tumors can lead to serious neurological complications.
