Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare interstitial tumor that originates from various soft tissues, and SFTs occurring within the cranium are extremely rare. While intracranial SFTs with cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage have been reported, there have been no reports of intracranial SFTs causing subdural hematoma. In this case, we report on an intracranial SFT accompanied by a subdural hematoma. A 29-year-old female was emergently transported due to the sudden onset of persistent headache and vomiting that began the night before. CT and MRI imaging revealed a hemorrhagic tumor under the tentorium and an acute subdural hematoma extending along the tentorium. The excised tumor was diagnosed as an SFT through histopathological examination. After undergoing radiation therapy, no recurrence has been observed. This is the first case report of an SFT accompanied by a subdural hematoma, and it is vital to recognize that SFTs can be associated with subdural hematomas for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
