Item description

A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Primary tumors originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic or secondary tumors result from cancer spreading from another site to the spine.


Additional symptoms can include the following:

Loss of sensation or muscle weakness in the legs, arms or chest
Stiff neck or back
Pain and/or neurologic symptoms (such as tingling) increase with Valsalva maneuver
Difficulty walking, which may cause falls
Decreased sensitivity to pain, heat and cold
Loss of bowel or bladder function
Paralysis that may occur in varying degrees and in different parts of the body, depending on which nerves are compressed
Scoliosis or other spinal deformity resulting from a large and/or destructive tumor
