Background: Solitary fibrous tumor/meningeal hemangiopericytoma (SFT/M-HPC) is a rare neoplasm which accounts for around 1% of the intracranial masses. This pathology has a high risk for recurrence and metastasis to distant locations such as the liver, lungs, and bones. Precise diagnosis necessitates detailed histopathological examination.

Introduction: Adult primary intracranial Ewing sarcomas (EWs)/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are extremely rare, with only 30 patients published before us. The imaging features and treatment strategies of primary intracranial EWs/PNETs are unclear due to its rarity. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features, imaging findings, treatment, survival analysis, and prognosis of adult EWs/PNETs, and a systematic review was conducted based on the patient we treated and published literature.

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.
