Intramedullary tumors come from inside the spinal cord. Nerve sheath tumors come from the nerve roots. They are common in middle aged and elderly women. Meningiomas come from the membrane covering the spinal cord. These tumors almost always fall into one of two categories: They are usually benign and slow-growing. Intradural-Extramedullary tumors are located within the spinal canal, under the membrane covering the spinal cord, but outside of the spinal cord. Primary vertebral column tumors are rare and tend to grow very slowly. In men, they most commonly come from cancer in the prostate or lung. In women, tumors in the vertebral column most commonly come from cancer in the breast or lung. These tumors are almost always metastatic, meaning they originated from tumors in another part of the body. Vertebral column tumors are tumors located in the vertebral column. With regard to the location, there are three common types of spinal tumors: Primary spinal tumors are growths that originate in the spine, while metastatic spinal tumors are tumors resulting from cancer that spread from another part of the body. /Cancer_spread_to_spine-b66512d129614ebd93afb7a6e4316028.jpg "cancer of spine")
