“…A few reports indicated preoperative diagnoses, most often meningioma or nerve sheath tumor. 2,10,43,64,65,72,73 One hemorrhagic lesion in the conus was thought to be either a myxopapillary ependymoma or cavernous malformation. 74 Seventy-five of the reported cases contained information regarding treatment.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors of the spine are rare lesions. Their description in the literature is limited to case reports and small case series. While generally benign lesions, they can recur and occasionally occur as malignancies. Here the authors present the case of a 10-year-old boy, the youngest patient and first preadolescent reported thus far, with this condition. In addition, they perform a comprehensive review of all previously published cases of spinal solitary fibrous tumors.

“…They can occur anywhere in the human body but arise predominantly in the visceral pleura; SFTs in extraserosal sites, especially those involving the central nervous system, are quite infrequent 1–3. SFTs occurring in the spinal intramedullary locations are extremely rare 4–8. Although it may be challenging on neuroimages to offer a specific diagnosis of this rare entity, knowledge of this tumor is vital as it has benign features and a possibly better prognosis than some more malignant tumors in this location 4,7.…”

It is crucial to accumulate imaging findings and biological behaviors of spinal intramedullary SFTs given the limited number of reported cases.…”

BackgroundSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign neoplasm arising in the soft tissue, which can occur anywhere in the body, while it is predominantly found in the visceral pleura. Spinal SFT is quite uncommon, with limited cases having been reported in the literature; especially, SFT occurring in the intramedullary site is extremely rare.Case presentationWe present a case of a 35-year-old woman presenting with progressive numbness and weakness in the legs and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intramedullary lesion with bright enhancement. A diagnosis of spinal hemangioblastoma was suspected, and thus a three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography reconstruction was requested, which also demonstrated an angiomatous lesion. The tumor was completely resected under neurophysiological monitoring. However, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed an SFT. No adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy was scheduled. The symptoms were relieved completely, and no recurrence or progression was noted during the follow-up.ConclusionThough SFT has been considered similar to malignant hemangiopericytoma and the histological classification has always been controversial, the intramedullary location and benign behavior in the present case add to the current understandings of this extremely rare entity.
