Summary
Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) constitutes a heterogeneous group of rare spindle-cell neoplasms. We hereby present a rare case of SFT/ HPC of CNS in a 63 year old male. A 63 year old male presented with history of headache, left sided facial pain, tingling and numbness of 1 month duration. He developed vomiting and difficulty in walking since two weeks. CNS examination in a well oriented, conscious man revealed left sided facial hyperaesthesia and presence of shuffling gait.
