Meningeal hemangiopericytomas are rare but aggressive tumors. All eight patients in this series developed recurrences, three with distant metastases. In six patients a lytic destructive lesion of bone was evident. CT scans in three patients demonstrated diffusely enhancing lesions. No tumor calcification was present. In five of six patients angiography was characterized by multiple irregular tu...

Anaplastic meningiomas (MIIIs) and meningeal hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) display significant morphologic and immunohistochemical overlap, including occasional cases of otherwise classic HPC with focal epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) positivity. The availability of several new biomarkers prompted us to examine the potential diagnostic roles of ancillary immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescen...

We report our experiences of four cases with meningeal hemangiopericytoma treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy and survey the literature to elucidate the efficacy of radiotherapy. Patients were treated with surgical resection and 46-52 Gy postoperative radiotherapy. Three patients had local control for 30, 54 and 138 months, respectively and one patient had local recurrence after...

Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare phenotype of solitary fibrous tumors. While local recurrence and metastasis common, concurrent renal hepatic lesions have seldom been reported. We present the case patient with both metastatic HPC, 14-years following successful meningeal HPC resection. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old female history resected in 2005, presented to her PCP 2019 com...

We describe a rare case of a primary intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) with late metastasis to the cervical spine. A 36-year-old woman had a left occipital lesion that was histopathologically identified as HPC. Fourteen years after resection, the tumor recurred and was treated with radiotherapy. Three years later, CT imaging showed a large mass in the liver consistent with metasta...
