Neoplasms in the spine can be a primary diagnosis or a secondary from some other disease. When neoplasms form in the lumbar spine they can press on the nerves and affect the motor skills of the patient. Some patients may not even know if there is a neoplasm in their spine unless the mass is pushing or invading nerves of the spine. Treatment can involve radiation therapy, chemo, or surgical removal depending on the location.
