How to differentiate spinal cord hemangiopericytoma from common spinal cord tumor?

CONCLUSION: SFT/HPC is a very rare spinal tumor that can be extramedullary, intramedullary or both. It may perfectly mimic meningioma. The maximal resection is the best treatment, but can be challenging because of the tumor's firm consistency and pial adherences to the spinal cord. Outcome is good in case of gross total resection, but there is a risk of very late recurrence, requiring long-term follow-up.
