Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma: Report of two cases and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms originating in the meninges and constitute a heterogeneous group of rare spindle cell tumors that include benign and malignant neoplasms of which hemangiopericytoma is nowadays considered a cellular phenotypic variant. ISFT usually shows benign or indolent clinical behavior. We describe two cases of ISFT managed in our institution along with a review of pertinent literature.

متن کاملSolitary fibrous tumor of the orbit.
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the orbit is a very rare lesion that may be misdiagnosed as fibrous histiocytoma, hemangiopericytoma, or other orbital tumors. We present a 62-year-old man who presented with painless proptosis, 20 years following left eye enucleation for a presumed neurofibroma. On T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a hypointense tumor almost filled his entire left or...
متن کاملA Rare Clinical Case of Giant Hemangiopericytoma
Meningeal hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are aggressive tumors characterized by a high rate of recurrence and delayed metastasis. Despite the malignant nature of these tumors, they often reach a large size with minor clinical presentations. To date, surgical treatment still remains the primary treatment of these tumors. HPC is a malignant tumor arising from pericapillary cells or Zimmerman pericyte...
