CDOC. RDOR: CDOC= common disease occur commonly. RDOR= rare diseases occur rarely. A tumor in the spine would be detected by a CT scan or MRI, and MAYBE by a plain x-ray. A cancer in the spine in a young man with no prior history of cancer is not impossible, but quite unlikely.

Often yes: The most common tumors in the spine are cancers that have metastasized from other primary sites. They can appear as either dense (blastic) or clear (lytic) lesions on the X-Ray. In rare cases, nerve, bone marrow or, bony tumors can arise in the spine itself. At age 22, other musculoskeletal problems are far more common as cause of low back pain.
