چکیده
A rare case of an intracranial haemangiopericytoma with extra-cranial extension in a 60-year-old female patients’ is presented. Intracranial haemangiopericytomas are uncommon, dural-based tumors. It is classified as a tumor of uncertain origin in the WHO system.Haemangiopericytomas arise from Pericytes of Zimmerman that surround capillaries and not archetypical meningothelial arachnoid cap cells. Most frequently they arise in soft tissue sites, but rarely present in the CNS. Macroscopically many haemangiopericytomas resemble meningioma but are distinct histologically. These tumors show more aggressive natural history. Vascular nature suggests a different therapeutic approach thus fore warning a surgeon to a potentially more challenging resection.
