Primary haemangiopericytoma of the tibia. Treatment by en bloc resection and bone transportation. A case report.

Haemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare vascular tumours arising from pericytes, which are contractile cells that spiral around capillary walls. Therefore HPCs have a wide distribution in both soft tissue and skeletal system, with the latter being the most unusual occurrence. Sixty-three cases of osseous HPC have been reported in the available literature, only four of them located in the tibia (7,

Intraperitoneal recurrence of renal haemangiopericytoma

We describe a case of a 53 years old patient who underwent right nephrectomy for a renal tumor in 2005. The histological examination revealed an hemangiopericytoma with graveness signs. Ten years later, the patient developed a huge abdominal mass. CT scan showed a voluminous locally advanced tumor measuring 30*20 cm. The mass was multilobed and hypervascularized (A) Witch was compatible with a ...
