Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign mensenchymal neoplasm of spindle‐cell origin. The authors report the case of a 50‐year‐old man with SFT arising from the meninges of the left parasellar region with cavernous sinus involvement. The tumor was demonstrated isointense on T1‐weighted and heterogeneously hypointense on T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with strong contrast enhancement. The preoperative MRI diagnosis was meningioma or hemangiopericytoma. Pathological study revealed an SFT that stained positive immuno‐histochemically for CD34 and vimentin.
