Abstract.

Primary tumors of the spine are relatively infrequent lesions compared with metastatic disease, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. A wide variety of benign and malignant neoplasms can involve the spine. The imaging features of these lesions are often characteristic. We present an overview of the imaging modalities in primary tumors of the spine in order to provide a useful tool in current radiologic practice. The role of CT and MRI is discussed.
