Liver metastasis of meningeal hemangiopericytoma: a study of 5 cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mesenchymal tumors in the liver, whether primary or metastatic, are rare. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is characteristically associated with delayed metastasis and the liver is one of the most common sites. Despite its consistent histological features, a pathological diagnosis of HPC in the liver is sometimes not straightforward due to its rarity and usually remote medical history of the primary meningeal tumor. In this report, the clinicopathological features of 5 cases of metastatic HPC to the liver were reviewed and described.

Intracranial hemangiopericytomas (HPC) are rare vascular tumors. They account for 0.4% of primary central nervous system tumors. HPC is more commonly located supratentorially and tends to occur in a younger age group, with average age at presentation of 38–42 years. The tumor was found throughout the entire CNS, usually superficially and closely related to the meninges. Moreover, they have a st...

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 ...
