Sacral Spinal Tumors

Tumors of the sacral spine are rare, comprising up to only 7% of all spinal tumors. They can be broadly categorized into two groups: primary or metastatic. Primary sacral tumors can be further divided into three groups based on origin: congenital, neurogenic, or osseous. The most common primary sacral tumor is the chordoma. The most common sacral tumor is from metastasis.
