چکیده
Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm, first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. Hemangiopericytoma is considered to be a tumor of pericytes. Apart from being rare in absolute terms, hemangiopericytoma is uncommon in the head and neck. Most of the cases described till now are usually in the trunk or lower extremities.1 The incidence in head and neck region is less than 20%. In this site, it affects soft tissues around the oral cavity, sinus tract and meninges.2 In our case, the tumor involved the anterior maxillary region. The hemangiopericytoma generally presents as a painless mass, but may have symptoms depending upon the size and location of the tumor. In the discussion, the lesion had similar features but also caused difficulty on eating and talking.3
