Objective:　The　purpose　of　this　research　is　to　establish　a　patient-specific　finite　element　model　of　a　spinal　tumor　and　provide　a　preparation　for　the　later　numerical　simulations.　Method:　Two　steps,　including　three-dimensional　reconstruction　of　the　spinal　tumor　and　its　associated　tissues,　grid　generations,　are　carried　out　for　the　establishment　of　the　finite　element　model.　Results:　A　patient-specific　finite　element　model　including　a　spinal　tumor　and　its　associated　tissues　is　established.　Conclusion:　Patient-specific　finite　element　model　is　a　preparation　for　the　surgical　planning　on　thermal　ablation,　and　the　later　numerical　simulations　will　provide　beneficial　tutorials　for　surgeons.
