“…Only 24.5% of SFT are CNS based [2] , with the lumbar spine accounting for about 13.2% [3 , 4] . Due to its nonspecific clinical and radiographic features, spinal SFT can mimic other pathologies such as schwannoma [5 , 6] , meningioma [7] , osteosarcoma [8] , among others. Based on our search in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library, we could not find any other reported case describing SFT mimicking a lumbar extruded disc fragment.…”

Solitary fibrous tumor in the lumbar spine is a rare pathology with non-specific radiographic features, sometimes resulting in misdiagnosis. Our patient was a 41-year old female who presented with low back pain and bilateral leg pain. Initial MRI showed a lesion misdiagnosed for a sequestered disc at the mid L4-5 level, which was subsequently characterized appropriately and treated surgically, with resolution of symptoms. Pathologic diagnosis was most consistent with a solitary fibrous tumor due to STAT 6 and CD 34 reactivity. Long-term follow up is recommended in these patients to monitor tumor recurrence and evidence of metastasis.

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.

“…Spinal SFTs are a rare entity with the most common location being thoracic spine followed by cervical and lastly lumbosacral spine [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. SFTs are mesenchymal in origin as proved by immunohistochemistry; however, histologically, these appear as haphazardly arranged spindle cells with interspersed hypocellular collagenous areas.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the spine are exceedingly rare tumors of mesenchymal origin. Most spinal SFTs arise from the thoracic spine, followed by cervical spine, and last lumbar spine with only 6 cases reported in literature. SFTs represent a wide range of neoplasms, ranging from benign to malignant. These tumors can develop a late recurrence, even after a decade or more of initial presentation, requiring long-term follow-up. We present a case of recurrent SFT of the lumbar spine with vertebral body involvement, presenting more than a decade after initial resection. It was initially misdiagnosed as a paraganglioma. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 3 previous cases reporting SFT with vertebral body involvement.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Lumbar Spine: The Great Mimicker—Report of the Fifth Case

Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare neoplasm occurring in the central nervous system. It rarely occurs in the spine. This paper reports the fifth case of SFT in a 34-year-old female and focusses on differential diagnosis and importance of surgical treatment.
