Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. It can arise in various locations, most commonly in the pleura. It encompasses a heterogeneous group of histological patterns with different biological behavior. In some cases, metastases occur, sometimes years after the initial diagnosis. We report a case of metastatic meningeal hemangiopericytoma, also called solitary fibrous tumor of the dura, exhibiting liver metastases and muscle metastases 5 years after resection and adjuvant radiotherapy of the primary tumor.
