Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytomas: a clinical analysis of a series of 17 patients.

CNS SFT/HPCs are rare intracranial tumors with unpredictable propensity. Gross total resection is critical to its overall clinical prognosis. Given its potential recurrence and malignant transition, adjuvant radiotherapies are recommended when necessary, and long-term follow-up is indispensable. The underlying molecular biological mechanisms are still needed to be further exploration.
