Abstract
It is unusual for a spinal tumor to reveal shadows of calcification on X-rays, although this sometimes occurs with spinal meningioma. Spinal neurilemma is a benign tumor that often originates from a dorsal spinal nerve root and sometimes forms a dumbbell-shaped tumor. It is rare that these tumors show calcification, and we could find out only six such cases have been reported. Here we present a case of radiographically calcified thoracic spinal neurilemmoma.
