Cureus. 2022 Dec 16;14(12):e32607. doi: 10.7759/cureus.32607. eCollection 2022 Dec.

Abstract

An intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare and aggressive tumor with a high propensity for locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis. The formerly used collective term for this tumor, "solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma", has recently fallen out of use and is now commonly replaced with the term "solitary fibrous tumor". We describe a rare case of intracranial SFT with simultaneous metastasis to the spine, the right humerus, and the lungs four years after resection and radiotherapy of the primary tumor.

Keywords: case report; intracranial; metastasis; solitary fibrous tumor; tumor.
