Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the central nervous system occurring in the brain parenchyma are rare. We report an elderly female who presented with intermittent headaches and a solitary mass was noted in the right cerebellum that was misdiagnosed preoperatively as a hemangioblastoma. The postoperative pathologic diagnosis was a SFT. When an isolated mass appears in the cerebellar hemisphere with slight hyperdensity on CT images, heterogenous signals on T1WI and T2WI images, and a nodule with a hypointense signal on a T2WI image, the possibility of a SFT should be considered.
