Sequential salvage chemotherapy for recurrent intracranial hemangiopericytoma.
OBJECTIVE Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is an uncommon primary brain tumor with an almost invariable tendency to recur and metastasize. We undertook a retrospectively collected case series of recurrent intracranial HPCs treated with salvage chemotherapy with the primary objective of evaluating progression-free survival. METHODS Fifteen patients, ages 26 to 62 years, with recurrent HPC and who were...
متن کاملIntracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma metastatic to the scapula.
Meningeal hemangiopericytomas are rare vascular tumors that have a propensity for recurrence and metastasis. Intracranial hemangiopericytomas are rare vascular tumors. They account for 0.5% of primary central nervous system tumors and 2% of meningiomas. Unlike usual benign meningiomas, which rarely metastasize extracranially, meningeal hemangiopericytoma has a high rate of local recurrence and ...
متن کاملTreatment Strategy of Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest aggressive management combining a grossly total resection (GTR) with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) as a treatment of choice for intracranial hemangiopericytoma (HPC). However, in these papers, the definitions of complete or GTR are equivocal. In the present study, we reviewed the relevant cases from our experience focused on the clinical efficacy of surgical gradi...
متن کاملClinical Analysis of Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma
OBJECTIVE Intracranial hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare tumors with aggressive behavior, including local recurrence and distant metastasis. We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of grossly total resection and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for these tumors. METHODS A total of 13 patients treated for intracranial HPC from January 1995 through May 2013 were included in t...
متن کاملLarge hemangiopericytoma of the pelvis—towards a multidisciplinary approach
BACKGROUND In 1942, Stout described tumors which derive from Zimmerman's pericytes and suggested the term hemangiopericytoma (HPC). These tumors, which are often highly vascularized, pose difficulties in the surgical management regarding blood loss and complete resection. Therefore, preoperative management seems to be an essential part in dealing with these issues. CASE PRESENTATION We presen...
