Solitary fibrous tumor of the dura
Updates to Case Attributes
Intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (ISFT) is a rare neoplasm described for the first time around the latemid 90’s by Carneiro et al. These kind of tumos are typically dural-based, neoplasms of mesenchymal origin accounting for ~1% of all primary CNS tumours. There is little informationIs commonly found in the literature about this neoplasmmediastinum and its imaging findingsvisceral pleura; however, so we want to contribute with this case forit also occurs in the knowledge of all our radiologist colleaguespleura external sites, such as the head and neck, sinuses, orbits, thyroid, pericardium, peritoneum, liver and mesentery.
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).
