Cervical solitary fibrous tumor: case report and literature review

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare neoplasms in the spinal canal. There are few studies add sing SFT/hemangiopericytomas with no distinctive clinical characteristics, no conclusive radiological findings or even a well-defined best treatment strategy. We described a rare case of cervical SFT/hemanglopericytomas in a young patient with spinal cord compression, There are many differential diagnoses for spinal dural-based masses of which meningiomas are the most common. Surgeons and oncologists should be aware of differentials of dural-based masses in the spinal cord for surgical decision making and to guide treatment.
