Intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (ISFT) is a rare neoplasm described in 1996for the first time around the late 90’s. ISFTsThese kind of tumos are typically dural-based, neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, resembling other spindle cell tumours such as fibrous meningiomas. There is little information in the literature about this neoplasm and haemangiopericytomasits imaging findings, so we want to contribute with this case for the knowledge of all our radiologist colleagues.
This case shows a solid-appearing extra-axial well circumscribed mass located in the right frontotemporal region that expands to the adjacent bone and subgaleal soft tissue, with heterogeneous signal on T2 weighted series ("yin-yang" appearance).
