Abstract
Primary vertebral tumors are rare compared with spinal metastases. They are typically diagnosed in younger patients but also affect older adults. When assessing a patient with a primary vertebral tumor, it is imperative to establish a correct diagnosis as management and treatment options differ drastically based on pathology. Generally, the typical workup starts with imaging studies such as CT and MRI. Frequently, a definitive pathologic diagnosis with a biopsy is needed as well. Primary vertebral tumors can be broadly classified either as benign or malignant. Here we describe the clinical features, radiographic features, and surgical management of benign primary vertebral tumors.
