Are bone erosion and peripheral feeding vessels hallmarks of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma?

An 86-year-old man sustained progressive motor weakness in the left lower extremity for 1 month. Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed an isodense mass in the right parietal lobe, with a smooth-contoured focal erosion in the adjacent parietal bone. The extra-axial tumor appeared isointense on T1...

description An 86-year-old man sustained progressive motor weakness in the left lower extremity for 1 month. Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed an isodense mass in the right parietal lobe, with a smooth-contoured focal erosion in the adjacent parietal bone. The extra-axial tumor appeared isointense on T1- and hyperintense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with intense enhancement. On three-dimensional CT angiography, the ectatic left occipital artery coursed into the right parietal foramina and connected with a dilated meningeal vessel supplying the tumor. The focal erosion formed in the inner parietal bone was located adjacent to the feeding vessel. A total tumor resection was achieved. The microscopic findings of the resected specimen were consistent with a World Health Organization grade III hemangiopericytoma (HPC). Bone erosion and peripheral feeding vessels may be characteristic findings of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)/HPC. Careful interpretation of neuroimages could help detect clues for distinguishing an SFT/HPC masquerading as a meningioma from a true meningioma.
