Background: Spinal tumors comprise some of the neurological disorders that affect the spine. Primary tumors originate from the spine while metastatic tumors are related to the tumors of near or distant organs. This results in a variety of locations of the affected spinal cord, diagnosis, treatment, and surgical procedures performed in patients. Data and research on the profile of spinal tumor patients are still rare in Indonesia. Methods: This study was conducted using secondary data with a retrospective descriptive method. Data were collected for 2015–2021 using total sampling technique from medical records of 122 patients with spinal tumors in The Neurosurgery Department, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. Results: The highest incidence rate in spinal tumor patients occurred in female patients (59.9%) and in the age group of 40–60 years (47.5%), with the most common location of the affected spinal cord on the level of the thoracic spine (65.5%). The majority of patients was diagnosed with schwannoma dd meningioma (27.1%). The most widely performed surgical procedure and treatment was laminectomy tumor removal (43.4%). The peak age was between 40 and 60 years old, with schwannoma dd meningioma as the most common diagnosis and type, while the majority of metastatic tumors occurred in more than 60 years old. The thoracic spine was found to be the most frequent location of the affected spinal cord. Conclusion: Further evaluation of management and follow-up studies need to be done to improve the implementation of treatment for patients and optimize patient’s quality of life.
