Hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors of sinonasal region. In this article, we described a case of recurrent mass in right nasal cavity which presented with nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis. Patient had a surgical history on the same nasal region without any histopathological document. Abnormal bleeding was observed during surgery and mass was partially removed for histopathological investigation. The result was glomangiopericytoma of the sinonasal region. Although extended surgery was recommended to the patient including preoperative and perioperative measures for bleeding problem, patient preferred to follow-up rather than removal. The clinical progress and review of glomangiopericytoma have also been discussed.

“…11 Clinically the mass looks polypoidal, beefy red to greyish pink, soft, fleshy to friable, edematous to hemorrhagic, and bleeds on touch. 12 Regional lymph nodes are rare. 13 Histopathology shows diffuse subepithelial well delineated but un encapsulated cellular tumour 14 with proliferation of closely packed spindle cells in variety of pattern which includes diffuse, whorled and storiform, with characteristic hemangio-pericytoma like thin walled vessels with branching staghorn pattern and frequent perivascular hyalinization of capillary sized vessels.…”

ABSTRACT:Glomangiopericytoma is an uncommon sinonasal neoplasm, originating from pericytes of capillaries constituting less than 1% of all sinonasal mass. It is a borderline low malignant tumor. We report the case of a 25 year old female with history of progressive nasal obstruction on the left side, bleeding from the left nasal cavity, anterior rhinoscopy showed a mass in the left middle meatus. This was successfully excised in toto by trans-nasal endoscopic approach. Histopathology was inconclusive and Immuno-histochemistry was required to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical presentation, histopathology, management and prognosis are discussed.

“…The tumor arises from the pericytes surrounding capillaries. 1 Histologically the lesion is composed of a diffuse, subepithelial proliferation of uniform, closely packed spindled cells growing in a variety of patterns. Vascular network is composed of variably sized vascular channels ranging from capillary to large-sized.…”

a b s t r a c tGlomangiopericytoma is classified as a borderline low malignancy tumor but recurrence rate is reported to be about 16.8%e30%, probably caused by the lack of radical resection.1 It is a rare tumor arising from pericytes surrounding capillaries. The tumor has a predilection for the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.We report a case of glomangiopericytoma with an aim to present how it can invade and destroy both maxillary bones and lower part of nasal cavity. Due to its dimensions the tumor required extensive resection within tumor-free margins. On the basis of immunohistochemical staining the tumor was diagnosed as glomangiopericytoma.Strict follow-up of 16 months after radical resection revealed no recurrence of the tumor.
