Intracranial hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors, accounting for 1% of all central nervous system malignancies. This tumor is considered at high risk of local and also distant metastases. Surgical excision is the gold standard for treatment, but it i...
Hemangiopericytoma is a malignant vascular tumour of soft tissue. Microscopically, the tumour shows tightly packed cellular areas surrounding thin-walled branching blood vessels. Traditionally these tumours are treated using wide surgical excision. O...
Background and Clinical Significance: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), historically termed hemangiopericytoma (HPC), is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm with variable biological behavior. Pulmonary involvement is uncommon and may represent eithe...
Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a mesenchymal tumor originating from various soft tissues and meninges, which carries the NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene. Meningeal/intracranial SFT/HPCs (icSFT/HPC) have a poor clinical outcome with met...
Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) of the central nervous system (CNS) is a rare meningeal tumor. Given the absence of prospective or randomized data, there are no standard indications for radiotherapy. Recently, the NR...
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the spine are rare. SFTs, especially those classified as WHO grade II or III (previously termed hemangiopericytomas), are aggressive neoplasms with a high recurrence rate and metastatic potential. In the literature,...
Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) of the central nervous system is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with a propensity for late recurrence and distant metastasis. Pancreatic metastasis from intracranial SFT/HPC is exceptionally uncommon a...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the central nervous system, previously named and classified with the term hemangiopericytoma (HPC), is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors. Despite its benign nature, it has a malignant behavi...
In the 2016 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system, hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) and solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) were integrated into a new entity (SFT/HPC). Metastases to bone, liver, lung, and abdominal cavity are of concern. O...
Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (iSFT) is an exceptional mesenchymal tumour with high recurrence rates. We aimed to analyse the clinical outcomes of newly diagnosed and recurrent iSFTs. Methods: We carried out a French retrospective...
Background and Objectives: This was a retrospective single-center study to analyze and describe the clinical and histological features of all cases of oral solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Study design: the study included all consecutive cases of oral S...
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign neoplasm, firstly described as a mesenchymal tumor of the pleura. Its incidence range in the head and neck region is about 5–27%, but only rarely does it affect paranasal sinuses. The differential diagnosis...
All solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), now histologically diagnosed by a positive nuclear STAT6 immunostaining, represent less than 2% of soft tissue sarcomas, with spinal SFT constituting a maximum of 2% of them, making these tumors extremely rare. We p...
Myopericytoma is a rare vessel wall tumor, a subtype of hemangiopericytoma that usually develops subcutaneously. Intravascular myopericytoma is a rarer subtype, with only few cases reported in the literature and even fewer with imaging modalities inc...
Evaluating masses of mesenchymal and epithelial origin accurately using computed tomography (CT) has several limitations in dogs. This study aimed to present dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters to aid in improvin...
Rare primary malignant bone sarcomas (RPMBS), other than osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, and Ewing sarcoma, account for about 5–10% of primary bone tumors and represent a major diagnostic challenge. These tumors include spindle cell and...
Congenital tumors are rare and, owing to this rarity, there is limited information on many of them. A total of 839 fetal and postnatal MRI studies performed in the first 3 months of life were retrospectively reviewed. They were performed with the use...
Objective: To explore the clinicopathological features of solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the lung. Methods: We collected the clinical data of 52 patients with SFTs of the lung confirmed by pathology, and summarized the clinical, radiological, and...
Cavernous angiomas (CAs) are benign vascular malformations predominantly seen in the brain parenchyma and therefore referred to as intra-axial. Extra-axial dural-based cavernous angiomas, on the other hand, are rare vascular lesions found outside of...
Background: Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging st...
Preservation of olfactory function during anterior skull base surgery has been previously described. However, its feasibility during oncological resection remains undefined. The aim of this study was to clarify the feasibility of preserving olfactory...
Background/Objectives: The parapharyngeal space is a complex anatomical region that houses critical neurovascular structures and serves as the origin of rare tumors, which account for 0.5–1% of head and neck neoplasms. Magnetic resonance imagin...
Background/Objectives: Sellar solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are exceptionally rare mesenchymal neoplasms that frequently mimic non-functioning pituitary adenomas (PAs) because of overlapping clinical manifestations and nonspecific radiological findi...
