Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a rare, aggressive central nervous system tumor with significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article presents a case of a 65-year-old female with intracranial HPC, initially misdiagnosed as meningioma, and discusses its clinical presentation, imaging features, histopathology, and immunohistochemical findings. The case underscores the tumor's aggressive nature, potential for recurrence and metastasis, and the necessity for long-term surveillance. Through imaging and pathological correlations, the article highlights the evolving classification and diagnostic strategies for such rare meningeal tumors.
