Sinonasal glomangiopericytoma treated with preoperative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery

چکیده
Sinonasal glomangiopericytoma is a benign rare tumour of pericytes that accounts for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumours. It is an indolent tumour with a macroscopic appearance of common inflammatory polyps. We report the case of a 55-year-old male who presented with right nasal obstruction. CT and MRI examinations demonstrated a soft-tissue mass that obstructed mainly the right nasal cavity. Biopsy revealed glomangiopericytoma. The tumour was treated with preoperative embolisation followed by complete endoscopic resection. Very few cases have been reported to be treated in this way.

Glomangiopericytoma simulating an intracavernous meningioma
BACKGROUND Glomangiopericytoma is an uncommonly encountered tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses, accounting for <0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. Extension of these lesions to the anterior or middle cranial fossa is rare. When this occurs, diagnosing glomangiopericytoma is extremely challenging, as it is often confused with other anterior skull base tumors. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Resection of Sinonasal Hemangiopericytoma following Preoperative Embolisation: A Case Report and Literature Review
Objectives. Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor entity deriving from pericytes. Less than 5% of hemangiopericytoma occur in the nasal cavity and are characterised by a rather benign nature with low tendency of metastasis. However, as the recurrence rate in the literature ranges from 9.5% to 50%-depending on the length of followup-a radical surgical resection is considered as the gold-standard tr...
