Five cases of the spinal cord tumor which we have recently experienced were reported.Case 1. a male, aged 42 years, was neurinoma located in the extramedullary region of the second lumbar vertebrae.Case 2. a male, aged 64 years, was malignant meningioma located in the extradural space of the third lumbar vertebral region.Case 3. a male, aged 41 years, was plasmacytoma located in the extradural space of the first and second thoracic vertebrae.Case 4. a female, aged 46 years. A myelogram showed a complete block of contrast material between C1-2.Case 5. a female, aged 44 years. A myelogram showed a defect of the contrast material on the left side at the third cervical vertebral region.We could remove the tumor completely in the case 1, and partially in the case 2, 3.In the case 4, 5 we practised only laminectomy for effect of decompression.At the postoperative course the patient's condition was relatively good in the case 1, 3, 4, 5.
