Management of sinonasal hemangiopericytomas: a systematic review

Abstract

Surgical management remains the mainstay of treatment for hemangiopericytomas. Endoscopic resection of these lesions has increased over the last few decades and has become a safe, viable, and reasonable alternative to open resection.

Endoscopic Nonembolized Resection of an Extensive Sinonasal Cavernous Hemangioma: A Case Report and Literature Review

“…The differential for benign causes includes inverted papilloma, arteriovenous fistula, lymphangioma, glomangioma, angiofibroma, 26–28 and inflammatory tumor, such as granuloma pyogenicum or granuloma gravidarum. Some possible malignant neoplasms that might present similar to our patient's include angiosarcoma, hemangiopericytoma, 29,30 and paraganglioma. 1 …”

Endoscopic management of sinonasal hemangiopericytoma: case report and literature review

“…Historically, open surgical methods for tumor extirpation have been considered as standard treatment, although endoscopic resection has increased in recent decades. (12,13) This clinical case demonstrates that endoscopic resection is a safe, viable and reasonable alternative and is currently the gold standard of treatment.…”

Combined therapy against recurrent and intracranial invasion of sinonasal hemangiopericytoma: A case report

“…Open surgical methods and endoscopic techniques have been considered as standard care of sinonasal HPC. Surgical removal resulted in no recurrence in 79.7% of the cases (4). Due to the complexity of nasal anatomy it is difficult to completely excise the HPC lesion by open or endoscopic surgery.…”

“…Sinonasal HPC accounts for ≤1% of sinonasal tumors, which often reoccur locally but rarely metastasize (3). Surgery is the main treatment method for primary and recurrent sinonasal HPC (4). Open surgical methods and endoscopic techniques have been considered as standard care of sinonasal HPC.…”
