Introduction: A meningeal hemangiopericytoma (MHPC) is an aggressive tumor characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and late distant metastasis. The objective of this study was to share our experience with the treatment of a MHPC and how to distinguish this tumor from a meningioma.
Patient Concerns: A 62-year-old woman presented with symptoms of hypomnesia, hyperopia, and double vision for 1 month. Complete tumor excision was performed 6 years before. A biopsy sample was diagnosed as an atypical meningioma.
Diagnosis: MHPC with late delayed hepatic metastasis.
Intervention: Hepatic resection was performed initially, followed by secondary neurosurgery for complete excision of the bilateral frontal lesion 1 month later.
Outcome: Based on the tumor pathology and consensus of oncologic surgeons, radiation therapy was initiated. Adjuvant therapy was well-tolerated and the patient remained recurrence-free at 6 months after surgery.
Conclusion: Here, we report a case of local brain tumor recurrence and multiple hepatic metastases from a MHPC. Craniotomy combined with radical metastasectomy may be useful in such cases. Detailed immunohistochemical staining is helpful to distinguish a MHPC from a meningioma. Long-term follow-up is recommended.

Background: Although the imaging findings of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)/hemangiopericytoma (HPC) and meningioma are similar, their treatment and prognosis are quite different. Accurate preoperative identification of these two types of tumors is crucial for individualized treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a radiomics model for the differentiation of intracranial SFT/HPC and meningioma based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).

Background: Meningeal solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that are associated with local recurrence and hematogenous metastasis. The cell states and spatial transcriptomic architecture underlying the unique clinical behavior of meningeal SFTs are unknown.
Methods: Single-cell (n = 4), spatial (n = 8), and bulk RNA sequencing (n = 22) were used to define the cell states and spatial transcriptomic architecture of meningeal SFTs across histological grades and in patient-matched pairs of primary/recurrent or intracranial/metastatic samples.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangiopericytoma is a type of tumor that can develop in various body parts, commonly in the head, neck, limbs, and certain internal areas, but is rarely found in the heart.
- The report discusses the case of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with hemangiopericytoma in her heart.
- It includes imaging findings from two different techniques: 18 F-FDG PET/CT and 68 Ga-FAPI scans.

Purpose: Meningeal solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) and haemangiopericytoma (HPC) are uncommon tumours that have been merged into a single entity in the last 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. To describe the epidemiology of SFT/HPC operated in France and, to assess their incidence.
Methods: We processed the French Brain Tumour Database (FBTDB) to conduct a nationwide population-based study of all histopathologically confirmed SFT/HPC between 2006 and 2015.
