Metastatic renal hemangiopericytoma: A rare case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is an unusual perivascular tumor and first case was described by Stout and Murray in 1942 (1). Moreover, it is classified as a soft-tissue vascular tumor originating from pericytes, which occurs commonly in the extremities, pelvis, head and neck, and meninges (2,3). On the other hand, HPC is rarely encountered in urogenital system (4-6). Renal HPC is also extremely rare tumor and only 41 case reports have been previously documented (7). Herein, we described a case of metastatic HPC localized to the right kidney and reviewed the literature.

The majority of cases are identified in patients between the a...
