  • Title: Solitary fibrous tumor of the meninges.
    Author: Rodríguez L, López J, Marin A, Cardozo D, Molina O, Cardozo J.
    Journal: Clin Neuropathol; 2000; 19(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 10774953.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial fibrous tumors are unusual growths that occur almost exclusively in young individuals. Most of these lesions are intra-axial, however, on extremely rare occasions they arise from the leptomeninges and compress the adjacent brain. The authors report the case of a benign solitary fibrous tumor of the meninges in a 14-year-old girl who presented with a 5-month history of generalized headaches. NMR imaging displayed a left parietal mass, which mimicked a meningioma.
