Many small nerve fibers and nociceptors that contribute to pain transmission were found in the lumbar facet joint and adjacent tissues. Acute inflammation of the facet joint induced prolonged excitation of the mechanoreceptors and a decrease in the mechanical thresholds of receptors. A recent report revealed that inflammatory reactions spread to nerve roots and increased the expression of TNF-α in the DRG.Mechanical noxious stimulation and chemical factors produced by inflammation of the facet joint and/or degeneration of the intervertebral disc may excite nociceptors in the facet joint and adjacent tissues and generate acute or chronic low back pain. Inflammation and degeneration of the facet joint may also induce radiculopathy.

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.
