Abstract
Background: Spine tumors are classified as primary tumors which originate from the spine itself and its adjacent structures and secondary (metastatic) tumors of distant organs which spread hematogenously and lymphatically and are located in the spine and its surrounding tissues. As the spine is well vascularized and has close relationship with regional lymphatic and venous drainage systems (especially Batson’s venous plexus), it is generally susceptible to metastasis. Metastatic tumors are the most common (97%) tumors of the spine.
Aim of the Work: to give an overview of the most important benign tumors of the spine, their clinical pictures and the typical features in imaging.
Patients and Methods: Search results will be conducted to systematic review management software and manually screened for eligibility to be included. PRISMA flowchart will be produced based on the search results and the inclusion/exclusion criteria. We will search the MED-LINE database, PubMed, Cochrane Bone and Muscle Trauma group Specialized Register, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trails (The Cochrane Library) using the following keywords related to: Bengin tumors, spine.
Results: Giant cell tumors in the spine, particularly lumbar region, are rare but can present with pain and neurologic deficits. Osteoid osteomas and osteoblastomas, more common in the thoracolumbar spine, exhibit distinct radiological features. Osteoblastomas, locally aggressive, cause persistent pain, stiffness, and neurological deficits, often diagnosed in later stages. Spinal osteoblastoma diagnosis relies on CT scans, superior to plain radiography, and may necessitate biopsy for confirmation. Vertebral hemangiomas, usually asymptomatic, can cause compression-related symptoms and are identified through characteristic radiographic and CT appearances.
Conclusion: Searching the literature, Comparison between clinical picture in various types of begnin tumors we found that all begnin tumors have similar symptoms such as localized pain, neurological symptoms. Hence different methods of investigation should be used such as plain x-ray, CT scan and MRI.
