            TERMINOLOGY

            • Abbreviations

              • Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)
              • Hemangiopericytoma (HPC)

            • Definitions

              • Mesenchymal neoplasm composed of oval to spindle-shaped cells with prominent branching (HPC-like) vascular pattern
              • Bone
                • Most previously diagnosed HPCs of bone are now classified as SFTs
              • CNS
                • SFT/HPC terminology still utilized
                  • Considered to exist in spectrum
                    • Tumors previously considered SFTs represent lower end of spectrum with more indolent behavior
                    • Tumors previously considered HPCs in CNS represent higher end of spectrum with less favorable prognosis
                  • Most SFTs/HPCs harbor NAB2/STAT6 fusion
