Abstrakt:	Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare type of tumor characterized by spindle-shaped cells originating from mesenchymal tissue. This case series presents a collection of 14 intracranial solitary fibrous tumors treated between 2014 and 2022 in our institute in Bucharest, Romania. Through a systematic investigation, key aspects spanning the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of patient care were highlighted. Our study examines various factors including tumor location (which was very heterogeneous), size (median of 49 mm, ranging between 22 mm and 70 mm), surgical techniques employed, and recurrence rates. The data was analyzed using Python version 3.10 (Python Software Foundation, Wilmington, Delaware, United States). Gender disparities in SFT were noted, particularly the male-to-female ratio which was 5:9. The use of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Scale for Muscle Strength aided in evaluating severity and postoperative outcomes. GTR was achieved in nine out of 14 cases (64.28%), prolonging the period of recurrence-free survival. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
