Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) can occur at any age (Fig. 11.1) and any site (Fig. 11.2). Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) represents a spectrum of tumors ranging from benign tumors with bland spindle shaped cells to histologically malignant tumors with a high mitotic rate and significant risk of metastatic disease. SFT/HPC arises in the pleura, soft tissue, and in the dura.
