Overview on Bone Sacral Tumors

Primary benign and malignant tumors of the sacrum are rare. Metastases are the most common malignant tumors of the sacrum and can be derived from lung, breast, kidney, prostate, head and neck, gastrointestinal, or skin (melanoma) cancers. Primary benign and malignant tumors of the sacrum may arise from bone or neural elements or the bone marrow in cases of hematological malignancies. This chapter details the differential diagnosis of sacral tumors and provides guidelines for management.
