One hundred cases of spinal tumors are studied concerning to the histological type, age, topography and evolution of the clinical manifestation. In the given material was identified a predominance of the tumors of the neural tissue and associated structures: neurinomas (16%), meningiomas (15%), ependymomas (4%) and astrocytomas (2%); following metastatic tumors (32%), tumors of mesenchymal tissue (16%): fibroma (2%), lipomas (2%), haemangioblastoma (4%), angiosarcoma (2%), angioma (1%), angioblastoma (1%), chordomas (2%), osteoblastoma (1%) and adamantinoid tumor (1%); tumors of lymphatic and haematopoietic tissue: plasmacytoma (6%), histiocytic lymphoma (3%), lymphocytic lymphoma (2%), Hodgkin (1%) and unclassified lymphomas (1%); teratomas: differentiated teratoma (1%).

D013120	Spinal Cord Neoplasms	Benign and malignant neoplasms which occur within the substance of the spinal cord (intramedullary neoplasms) or in the space between the dura and spinal cord (intradural extramedullary neoplasms). The majority of intramedullary spinal tumors are primary CNS neoplasms including ASTROCYTOMA; EPENDYMOMA; and LIPOMA. Intramedullary neoplasms are often associated with SYRINGOMYELIA. The most frequent histologic types of intradural-extramedullary tumors are MENINGIOMA and NEUROFIBROMA.
