Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare, aggressive tumors typically found along the dural sinuses. Despite their aggressive nature, complete surgical resection remains the most significant factor in reducing recurrence and improving survival. Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with a new-onset headache and vertigo.

Objective: Intracranial hemangiopericytomas (HPC) are rare tumors. Radiotherapy (RT) is frequently performed after surgery, depending on tumor size, location, and the type of resection. Moreover, RT is preferred as an effective treatment for local recurrence and metastasis.

Background And Objectives: The role of radiosurgery in the treatment of benign intracranial tumors is well established. However, there are limited long-term follow-up studies on outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for benign intradural spinal tumors. In this article, we report a large single-institution experience in using SRS to treat patients with benign intradural tumors of the spine.

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).
