  • Title: A rare case of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor of meninges: case report.
    Author: Sai Kiran NA, Kasliwal MK, Gupta A, Mridha AR, Sharma MC, Sharma BS.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Sci; 2009 Dec; 53(4):153-5. PubMed ID: 20220740.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of intracranial tumor in a 60 year female, previously asymptomatic presenting with altered sensorium following a road traffic accident. Imaging showed a small left frontotemporal contusion along with a large right frontoparietal extra axial mass lesion suggestive of a meningioma. Patient improved significantly after craniotomy and tumour decompression. Histopathology with immunohistochemical analysis however revealed the presence of a solitary fibrous tumor of meninges. The case is reported in view of its rarity, atypical presentation and need to distinguish from meningiomas which they can mimic radiologically.
