Presacral space is potentially important because of the presence of neural bundles, soft tissues and the axial skeleton. Any pathology in this space may hamper benign or malignant conditions. Demographics of the patient and correlation with imaging and subsequent conirmation on histopathology may provide a road map to diagnosis. Solitary ibrous tumor is tumor of mesenchymal origin. These present as solitary, well deined masses and mostly lobulated in contour. The typical location is in pleura however extrapleural sites have also been recognized.
