[Mesenchymal and Non-meningothelial Tumors Involving the Central Nervous System].

In the World Health Organization Classification of Brain Tumors Fifth Edition, mesenchymal non-meningothelial tumors involving the central nervous system are divided into three major categories: soft tissue tumors, chondro-osseous tumors, and notochordal tumors. Soft tissue tumors are classified into four groups: fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors, vascular tumors, skeletal muscle tumors, and tumors of uncertain differentiation. This article will focus on solitary fibrous tumors(SFTs), which are frequently encountered clinically and continue to undergo classification revisions in the 5th edition, and outline the three newly added histological diagnoses. Although SFTs and hemangiopericytomas occur throughout the body, including the central nervous system, nomenclatures have been different between the classifications of "Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone" and "Tumours of the Central Nervous System." The latest nomenclature is "SFT" in accordance with the nomenclature of bone and soft-tissue tumors. In addition, three new diagnoses, which are intracranial mesenchymal tumor FET-CREB fusion-positive, CIC -rearranged sarcoma, and primary intracranial sarcoma DICER1 -mutant, have been defined based on genetic abnormalities in tumors of uncertain differentiation.
