Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign neoplasm arising in the soft tissue, which can occur anywhere in the body, while it is predominantly found in the visceral pleura. Spinal SFT is quite uncommon, with limited cases having been reported in the literature; especially, SFT occurring in the intramedullary site is extremely rare.
