Neck Tumors

• Tumors of the spine and spinal cord are
  relatively uncommon. The most common initial
  symptom that patients with a spinal tumor have is
  pain. Because neck pain, and pain caused by a
  neck (cervical) disorder is very common, it is
  also not a specific symptom of any one disease or
  medical condition.

Lumbar Tumors
Tumors of the spine and spinal cord are
relatively uncommon. The most common initial
symptom that patients with a spinal tumor have is
pain. Because back pain is very common, it is
also not a specific symptom of any one disease or
medical condition. Spinal cord tumors can be
either primary (originating in the spinal cord)
or secondary (metastases of cancer that
originated elsewhere in the body).

Inflammatory and Infectious
Though infections and inflammation of the neck
spine are rare, if they are neglected for a
period of time, or if there is a delay in
diagnosis, they can become a significant source
of pain and disability. Bone and joint infections
anywhere in the body can be crippling and life
threatening, and infections in the neck spine are
no exception.
