23 Spinal Tumors
23.1 General Considerations
I. Eva lu at io n .
A. His t o r y:
1. Pain (localized vs. radicular) is the most common chief complaint (85% of
patients).
a. Other common presenting symptoms include motor weakness (41%) and
a palpable mass (16%).
2. Pain secondary to a spinal tumor is typically localized, progressive,
unrelenting, nonmechanical, and worse at night.
a. Patients do not have relief with rest.
3. Systemic signs and symptoms:
a. Fevers/chills.
b. Lethargy.
c. Unexplained weight loss.
4. Neurological symptoms may be present, such as weakness, sensory changes,
or bowel and bladder changes.
5. Age may help to narrow the di erential diagnosis.
a. In older patients, metastasis and multiple myeloma are more common.
6. A history of a primary tumor elsewhere in the body raises the concern of
metastases.
a. Metastatic tumors are more common than primary tumors in the spine.

slightly elevated with tum or.
(1) Exception is lym phom a, w hich is associated with an elevated WBC.
2. Multiple myeloma is associated with protein spikes on serum or urine
analysis.
3. Thyroid-stimulating hormone and free T4 levels are useful in identifying
thyroid disease.
4. Prostate-speci c antigen (PSA) is useful for prostate cancer.
5. Calcium and phosphate are commonly associated electrolyte abnormalities
that may need to be corrected.
6. Radiological evaluation (Table 23.3):
