Pediatric central nervous system solitary fibrous tumor: case report.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Solitary fibrous tumors are mesenchymally derived masses most commonly originating from the lung pleura.

CASE REPORT:

Herein, we report a 6-month-old presenting with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and a suprasellar mass. The mass proved to be a solitary fibrous tumor. This case and salient literature are reviewed.

CONCLUSIONS:

To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient to be described with a mass of this type within the central nervous system.
