“…Hemangiopericytomas are rare vascular neoplasms originating in capillary pericytes (1). In the 2002 edition of the WHO classification for soft tissue tumors, HPCs were sub classified into the group of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic soft tissue tumors (3). Similar to the case presented herein, HPC usually presents as a slow growing painless mass associated with only local symptoms.…”
