  Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor was rare. However, most intracranial solitary fibrous tumors are benign, cerebral solitary fibrous tumor with malignant transformation was even more unusual. Case present: Herein, we presented a 55 year-old-male who was diagnosed intracranial solitary fibrous tumor five years ago. Partial tumor excision was performed via the pterional craniotomy. Unfortunately, one year later, cerebral solitary fibrous tumor with recurrence on latest operation was diagnosed via follow-up Magnetic Resonance imaging. Reopen the craniotomy site, subtotal removal of tumor and stereotactic radiation surgery were performed. However, four years later, a recurrent tumor was seen via follow-up computed topographic (CT) scans of brain with contrast. A third craniotomy with subtotal removal of tumor was performed. Patholo..
