3 Pediatric spine tumors the challenges Pediatric spine tumors can be challenging to clinicians because they often present with varied, nonspecific, and delayed symptoms. Pediatric spinal tumors can be challenging for pediatric radiologists because they are uncommon, heterogeneous, and imaging features can be nonspecific. Other spinal masses can mimic spine tumors on imaging.

4 Objectives To generate a differential diagnosis of spinal tumors based on location (intramedullary, intraduralextramedullary, extradural, and extradural/osseous) To describe imaging features of pediatric spinal tumors To review spinal masses that can mimic spine tumors

5 Pediatric spine masses Key to differential diagnosis is to identify the location 35% 15% 20% I. Intramedullary II. Intradural-Extramedullary 30% III. Extradural IV. Extradural/Osseous
