Abstract
As a rule the history and clinical symptoms of a prolapsed lumbar disc are characteristic. In some cases, however, this typical picture can also be found in other diseases, e.g. multpile sclerosis (6), spondylolisthesis (4), or spinal tumor (1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11). In the present paper we have analysed a group of patients with lumbar spinal tumors originating symptoms of a protruded lumbar disc.
