“…26,27 In addition to those supratentorial locations, the tumor may also localize to infratentorial regions such as the cerebellopontine angle and spinal meninges. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] In the present study, the most common location for hemangiopericytoma was the frontoparietal region.…”

“…Although rare, unfavorable outcome is on record. In our review, we found 26 cases with local recurrences (even multiple recurrences over many years), 15,64,101,112,116,125,126,137,139,152,156,[172][173][174]176 2 cases of meningeal spread through cerebrospinal fluid dissemination, 117,127 and 5 cases with extracranial metastases, usually after recurrence. 83,108,110,139,147 Extracranial metastatic deposits, which were specified in 4 cases, occurred in the soft tissue of the neck and chest wall, 83 viscera (lung, 83,108,110,147 and liver 108,147 ), and bone.…”

We reviewed the world literature on solitary fibrous tumors of the central nervous system from August 1996 to July 2011, focusing on both clinicopathological features and diagnostic findings. The anatomical distribution of the 220 cases reported so far reveals that most are intracranial and just over one-fifth are intraspinal. In decreasing frequency, intracranial tumors involve the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments, the pontocerebellar angle, the sellar and parasellar regions, and the cranial nerves. Intraspinal tumors are mainly located in the thoracic and cervical segments. Although most solitary fibrous tumors of the central nervous system are dural based, a small subset presents as subpial, intraparenchymal, intraventricular, or as tumors involving the nerve rootlets with no dural connection. Preoperative imaging and intraoperative findings suggest meningioma, schwannoma or neurofibroma, hemangiopericytoma, or pituitary tumors. Immunohistochemistry is critical to establish a definitive histopathological diagnosis. Vimentin, CD34, BCL2, and CD99 are the most consistently positive markers. The usual histologic type generally behaves in a benign manner if complete removal is achieved. Recurrence is anticipated when resection is subtotal or when the tumor exhibits atypical histology. The proliferative index as assessed by MIB1 labeling is of prognostic significance. Occasionally, tumors featuring conventional morphology may recur, perhaps because of minimal residual disease left behind during surgical extirpation. Rare extracranial metastases and tumor-related deaths are on record. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Stereotactic and external beam radiation therapy may be indicated for postsurgical tumor remnants and for unresectable recurrences. Long-term active surveillance of the patients is mandatory.

“…11,12 Intracranially, SFT are located in the tentorial region, cerebellopontine angle, clivus, frontal lobe and in the ventricles. 2,6,7,13,14 In our patients, one SFT was in the cerebellopontine angle, two were parasagittal and the dural attachment was from the falx cerebri and one, a recurrent tumor operated upon in another hospital 7 years prior, was located in the convexity.…”

“…1 Since then, they have been described in many extrapleural sites including the pericardium, peritoneum, lung, liver, upper respiratory tract, mediastinum, nasal cavities, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, orbit, and meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Primary meningeal SFT was first described by Carneiro et al in 1996 and to our knowledge fewer than 100 SFTs have been reported both in the cranial and the spinal compartments of the CNS between 1996 and 2008. 10 We present four patients with intracranial SFT.…”
