Background:Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma is a new combined entity introduced in the 2016 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system for grade I–III soft-tissue tumors. While grades II and III present more aggressive course and might require adjuvant radiochemotherapy, grade I tumors have a good outcome after gross total resection. In this video-abstract, we present an unedited microneurosurgery of a histologically confirmed benign solitary fibrous tumor of the pineal region performed by a senior author (JH). Our aim is to demonstrate the efficiency and safety of our microsurgical technique into deep brain territories under the principle “simple, clean, and preserving the normal anatomy.” For this, a paramedian supracerebellar infratentorial approach and a proper praying sitting position are essential.
