INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumor (TFS) is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin, located mainly in the pleura. It is extraordinarily infrequent find it at the intraespinal level, being the thoracic region the most frequent. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 48-year-old patient with progressive ascending lower limb and myelopathy of one month of evolution, with intraspinal location at the D3-D4 level. It was surgically operated by posterior dorsal approach and D3-D4 laminoplasty, with an intradural tumor with an intramedullary component of approximately 18×12mm. The resection was complete and the pathological anatomy gave the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor. The patient is currently asymptomatic. DISCUSSION Complete tumor resection and histopathological features are the main prognostic factors. Surgery have a main role in this type of neoplasia. CONCLUSION There are few case published of solitary fibrous tumor with intraspinal localization. We apport another case to the literature.
