Abstract

|
A fibrous tumor is a rare tumor that arises mainly in the visceral pleura but can occur in many locations throughout the body including the soft tissue, upper respiratory tract, peritoneum, retroperitoneum, periosteum, and intracranial portion. Recently, a solitary fibrous tumor was found in the central nervous system. However, the incidence of an intradural solitary fibrous tumor is quite low and there are no domestic reports of such cases. We report a case of intradural extramedullary solitary fibrous tumor of the thoracic spine. A favorable clinical result was obtained using surgical treatment. The immunohistological findings revealed the tumor to be reactive to vimentin and CD34 but negative to the S-100 protein, alpha smooth muscle actin and desmin.
