Spinal extradural tumors, although uncommon, have high morbidity and mortality rates. Radiographs and computed tomography scans are typically used to assess and determine the characteristics of these tumors. ⋯ Imaging features, such as type of matrix, cortical involvement, and margins, aid in determining the diagnosis. This article discusses common and infrequent extradural spinal tumors, their imaging characteristics, and how age, location, and clinical presentation help in diagnosing these neoplasms.
