INTRACRANIAL SOLITARY FIBROUS TUMOR PRESENTING AS MENINGIOMA: A CASE REPORT

Solitary brous tumor (SFT) is a rare clinical entity of mesenchymal origin. It generally affects the pleura but has also been found to affect central nervous system (CNS). When occurring intracranially, the symptoms are mostly non-specic and that of a space occupying lesions and are often misdiagnosed as meningioma. We present a case of 46-year-old male patient presenting with headache and vomiting. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ndings were suggestive of meningioma. However, the histopathological ndings and immunohistochemistry ndings of the specimen after resection helped in diagnosing SFT.
