Solitary Fibrous Tumour of Tentorium: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solitary fibrous tumours are rare mesenchymal soft tissue tumours arising from multiple sites in the body including the dura and the intracranial ventricles. These masses are grouped along with rare haemangiopericytomas which form about less than 0.4 % of all CNS tumours. Locally aggressive solitary fibrous tumours closely mimic other dural based tumours most likely meningiomas. We report a case of biopsy proven solitary fibrous tumour from tentorium operated in a 60 year old adult and discuss the imaging features in other related dural based masses.
