Nervous System Hemangiopericytoma

Abstract: Abstract:The management of patients harboring central nervous system (CNS) hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) is a partially answered challenge. These are rare locally aggressive lesions, with potential for local recurrence, distal neural metastasis (DNM), and extraneural metastasis (ENM). Resection, when feasible, remains the initial treatment option, providing histological diagnosis and immediate relief of tumor-related mass effect. Patients receiving surgery alone or surgery and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) sh… Show more

“…Intracranial hemangiopericytoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor with strong aggressiveness and high degree of vascularization ( 1 ). Many features of intracranial hemangiopericytoma are similar to meningioma; intracranial hemangiopericytoma and meningioma both originate from the meninges and have similar imaging features.…”

“…Compared with angiomatous meningiomas, intracranial hemangiopericytoma is classified as a malignant tumor (WHO grades II–III) with the tendency of recurrence and metastasis ( 3 ). Intracranial hemangiopericytoma is more aggressive, highly vascularized and prone to intraoperative hemorrhage, has a higher postoperative recurrence rate and a worse prognosis ( 1 ).…”

“…Its presentation in the central nervous system (CNS) is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial tumours and 2–4% of meningeal tumours [ 2 ]. HPC has a slight male predominance and presents within the age range of 38–42 years [ 3 ]. Primary tumours are rarely diagnosed during pregnancy and central nervous system (CNS) tumours have no obvious clinical characteristics.…”

“… Highlights Haemangiopericytoma is a rare and aggressive type of soft tissue sarcoma that arises from pericytes of the capillaries and involves mostly the musculoskeletal system. Its presentation [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ] in the central nervous system is very rare. Diagnosis was made at 34 weeks of pregnancy after several hospital admissions for nausea and vomiting starting at 20 weeks gestation.…”
