Abstract
Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) account for 3.7% of all soft-tissue sarcomas, with an annual incidence of 0.35/100,000 individuals. Notably, although 20% involve the central nervous system, only one in 10 occurs in the spine versus the brain.
Case description: A 46-year-old female presented with 18 months of left lower extremity sciatica. On examination, she had a 60° limitation of straight leg raising but was otherwise neurologically intact. The lumbar magnetic resonance revealed a dumbbell tumor at the L4-L5 level filing the canal, causing cauda equina compression and extending into the left L45 foramen. The patient successfully underwent a L4 left hemi-laminectomy for tumor resection. The postoperative World Health Organization (WHO) histopathology was consistent with a SFT/WHO Grade I hemangiopericytoma (HPC).
Conclusion: A 46-year-old female with a lumbar L4 SFT with the left L45 foraminal extension successfully underwent a left hemilaminectomy for GTR of an SFT/WHO Grade I HPC.
