Symptoms of Spinal Tumors. Symptoms of spinal tumors depend on the location and type of tumor. In general, symptoms of spinal tumors include: 1  Back pain. 2  Unusual feelings in the legs, such as numbness or tingling. 3  Problems with bowel or bladder control. 4  Weakness in the muscles, especially the legs.
Neurofibromas cause fewer symptoms than Schwannomas; many are asymptomatic. In some instances, however, neurofibromas along the spine can result in arm and leg numbness and weakness or back pain. Treatment. The gold standard for most spinal schwannomas and neurofibromas is surgical removal. In the rare instance that the tumor is malignant, chemotherapy or radiation â or both â may be recommended. Because either of these types of tumors can sometimes grow back, itâs incredibly important to have regular follow-up exams (which may include imaging) to ensure that regrowth hasnât occurred.
