Neoplasms

Spinal neoplasms encompass a diverse group of benign and malignant tumors that can arise from or involve the vertebral column, spinal cord, nerve roots, and meninges. Radiologists must be familiar with the imaging characteristics of these lesions to guide diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning. Spinal tumors are traditionally classified by their anatomical compartment — extradural, intradural extramedullary, or intramedullary — because the compartment strongly predicts the differential diagnosis. This section covers the major tumor types in each compartment, classification systems, and key imaging features that distinguish benign from malignant lesions.
