Abstract
Meningeal fibrous solitary tumors/hemangiopericytoma are rare and aggressive mesenchymal neoplasms considered as sarcomas. They represent less than 1% of intracranial tumors and derive from the pericytes of Zimmerman which permit capillary contraction. They tend to occur more often in males in the fifth decade. They are often revealed by intracranial hypertension. Some scannographic and MRI characteristics permit to distinguish meningeal fibrous solitary tumor/hemangiopericytoma from other meningeal tumors. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma and fibrous solitary tumors were considered as different entities until 2016. Following the discovery of an identical genetic event, the locus 12q13 chromosome inversion leading to a NAB2-STAT6 fusion with nuclear immunoreactivity for STAT6 protein, the 2016 WHO classification defines these tumors as a single entity. Meningeal fibrous solitary tumors/hemangiopericytoma have a high recurrence rate. Long-term recurrences may occur. Local relapses are more frequent than extracranial metastasis. A multimodal management is recommended to treat a localized disease. It involves a complete resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. When local recurrences occur, surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery permit sometimes a local control. Metastatic disease has a poor prognostic and a weak chimiosensitivity. Targeted therapies, like pazopanib, are a hopeful option.
