Abstract
Spinal tumors can be intramedullary, intradural (within the meninges), or extradural (between the meninges and the bones), or they may extend secondary to the spine from other locations. Vertebral hemangioma represents the most common benign tumor of the spine. Metastases, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are the most frequent malignant spinal tumors. Primary osseous tumors of the spine, in contrast, are rare conditions but may demonstrate typical imaging findings. For the differential diagnosis, the patient's age, the topographic localization of the mass, and morphologic features of the lesion as depicted by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging play important roles.
