Abstract

The authors expose the clinical, radiological and histological presentation of three cases of solitary fibrous tumors of the meninges, initially thought to be meningiomas. Actually, these three cases show typical anatomoclinical features. The authors also mention the differential diagnosis, and recall the essential contribution of immunohistochemistry.
