Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors are a class of mesenchymal neoplasms with rare tendency to undergo malignant transformation. Lesions which have formerly been known as hemangiopericytoma bear exactly the same gene fusion as solitary fibrous tumor and may give rise to distant metastasis many years after. Hilar tumors with atrial involvement are complex tumors which require extensive surgery. Three dimensional models may guide surgical planning in advanced cases. We present a clinical case and surgical approach to malignant solitary fibrous tumor metastatic to the left hilum presenting many years after successful resection of intra-cranial hemangiopericytoma using three dimensional modeling for surgical planning.
