Résumé

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFT) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, originating in the meninges, characterized by very different biological and clinical behaviors. Benign histotypes such as hemangiopericytomas are now considered a cellular phenotypic variant of this heterogeneous group of rare spindle-cell tumors. Due to their rarity and resemblance to other more common brain tumors, ISFTs are often poorly recognized and remain a diagnostic challenge: in fact, ISFT might either have a benign/indolent clinical behavior or show biological aggressivity with local and distant recurrences after surgery. We describe herein a surgical series of 29 patients treated for ISFTs confirmed histologically and through immunohistochemistry. We attempt to provide a focus on the natural history of these pathologies and the need for a tailored management.
