Sinonasal Hemangiopericytoma: A Case Re-port
Authors
Abstract:
Hemangiopericytoma is a vascular tumor that is rarely seen in the nose and paranasal sinuses. Biological behavior of these tumors is not completely known, and their natural history is not predictable. This case report presents a patient with a sinonasal hemangiopericytoma. Diagnosis and management of these uncommon tumors is discussed.

full textSinonasal hemangiopericytoma: case report and literature review.
Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumor that can arise in any organ system, but occurs most frequently in skeletal muscle. We present a case of a primary sphenoid sinus HPC unusual for its spontaneous remission after biopsy. There have been approximately 55 cases of sinonasal HPC reported in the literature, representing less than 5% of all lesions. In general, HPC behaves aggressively...
full textThe orbital and sinonasal hemangiopericytoma, 2 case reports:
Background & objective: Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon vascular tumor derived from the pericytes of Zimmermann. . The most common location of the tumor is pelvic retroperitoneum and musculoskeletal system of the lower extremities. It is rarely seen in the head and neck area. In addition, only 0.8% to 3% of all orbital tumors and less than 5 % of primary sinonasal tumors are primary hemangiop...
full textTwo Sewing Needles in the Brain: A Case Re-port
Brain foreign bodies and penetrating missile injuries of the brain are familiar topics for Iranian physicians, especially after Iran and Iraq war. But it’s not easily plausible that there is a couple of sewing needles in the cranium of a patient who has not any history of head trauma or penetrating injury. The patient was a 42-year-old man who admitted in neurology ward of Mottahari Hospital in...
full textCongenital Hemangiopericytoma: A Case Report
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor observed mostly in adults. It usually presents with a painless slowly enlarging mass. The infantile type with much rarer occurrence has a different course compared to adults. Very few case reports have been described in the literature with disease onset in the infancy. The first reported case of infantile hemangiopericytoma of limbs from the Middle ...
full textEndoscopic 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...
