“…In previous reports [6,7], intraspinal HPCs commonly occurred in the cervical and thoracic segments of the spine and rarely in the lumbar and sacral segments. Our results are in accord with these reports that 14 out of 20 (70%) cases located at the cervical and thoracic spine, while thoracic-lumbar segments were more frequently infringed by grade III SFT/ HPCs (7 out of 9, 77.8%).…”

“…Surgery with the aim of preserving functionality, relieving pain, controlling local recurrence and promising a prolonged survival is the foundational treatment strategy for osseous SFT/HPCs in the spine [4,5,7]. Because SFT/ HPCs, especially grade III, have the character of local infiltration, the local recurrence rate will be high if surgery is inadequate [4,8,10].…”

recurrence being 36.6 (median 28, range 12-73) months. Our results indicate that grade III is an adverse prognostic factor for both recurrence and over survival (OS) for spinal osseous SFT/HPC, while total resection, especially TES, is a positive prognostic factor. Conclusions Spinal osseous SFT/HPC is a challenging clinical entity given its high local recurrence rate. Surgical management plays a crucial role in the whole treatment of spinal SFT/HPCs and total excision, especially TES, should be strived for whenever possible. Postoperative radiotherapy is recommended to lower the recurrent rate. This study also confirms that pathology grade III is an adverse prognostic factor for spinal osseous SFT/HPCs.

“…The hemangiopericytoma is a rare and malignant tumor of the central nervous system classically developed from the meninges and able to metastasize outside the neuraxis [1]. It represents less than 1% of all the central nervous system tumors and 2% of the primary meningeal tumors [2].…”

“…It represents less than 1% of all the central nervous system tumors and 2% of the primary meningeal tumors [2]. Hemangiopericytomas have been first considered to be angioblastic meningiomas before OMS classified them as non-meningothelial tumors of mesenchymal origin in 1993 [1]. Since the 2016 central nervous tumors classification of the WHO, they are grouped with solitary fibrous tumors (TFS) under the same entity: TFS/hemangiopericytoma [3].…”

Spinal hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors. To date, only 80 cases of spinal hemangiopericytomas have been reported in the literature. The postoperative evolution of this condition in rare cases can be complicated by a symptomatic compressive epidural hematoma that can be the source of serious neurological complications requiring emergency surgery. We report a rare case of intradural and extramedullary spinal hemangiopericytomas with favorable evolution after treatment in an 82 years old woman.

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) has been described to be aggressive and potentially a malignant tumour. We report a rare case of a 63-year-old Chinese male who presented with primary intradural extramedullary HPC of the thoracic spine. The main presenting complaint was gradual progression of back pain, associated with paraparesis and sensory deficit of lower limbs. He had MRI thoracolumbar with contrast which showed T9 lesion compressing on spinal cord and oedema, he was then operated upon and histopathology report confirmed a thoracic spine HPC. A T8/9 laminectomy and excision of intradural extramedullary lesion was performed, tumour section was sent for frozen section study, and more tissue was sent for paraffin studies and additional immunohistochemical staining. Surgical resection is most commonly performed, radiotherapy remains debatable. In this report, we discussed another rare case of primary spinal HPC to be added into the literature.

Spinal hemangiopericytoma: an institutional experience and review of literature

Abstract: Spinal hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor. Strong clinical suspicion is required to diagnose it pre-operatively. Gross total resection is the goal and radiotherapy should be given in case of residual tumor or high-grade tumors.
