“…Until now, so many various antibodies for immunohistochemical stains have been used for definitive diagnosis of sinonasal glomangiopericytoma. On the basis of17 patients' data (including our case) for immunohistochemical studies 1,4,5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] , various antibodies for immunohistochemical stains were used. Immunohistochemistry for vimentin, smooth muscle actin (SMA), muscle specific actin, CD34, desmin, S-100, cytokeratin including pankeratin, CD99, CD31, Bcl-2and Beta-Catenin was performed in at least 2 or more cases.…”

“…Except 4 patients whose treatment methods were not described in detail 6,7,10,20 , data on 16 patients (including our case) were collected for treatment modalities. 1,3,4,5,8,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The most common treatment modality was complete surgical excision through transnasal endoscopic surgery, used in 12 patients. The help of microdebrider and image-guided navigation system made it easier to remove the tumor completely in a few cases.…”

“…The help of microdebrider and image-guided navigation system made it easier to remove the tumor completely in a few cases. Depending on the location and size of tumor, other surgical methods were medial maxillectomy in 1 patient 5 , combined endoscopic surgery and Caldwell-Luc approach in 1 patient 9 , combined external approach and endoscopic approach in 1 patient 12 , and only external approach in 1 patient 15 . The prognosis of sinonasal glomangiopericytoma was excellent without recurrences even if the tumor was not completely removedin 3 patients because of bleeding and the location close to the artery.…”

Glomangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor arising from the pericytes surrounding capillaries, and accounts for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. The aim of this study is to describe our recent experience of sinonasal glomangiopericytoma and thoroughly review our collected data on the basis of age/sex, location, associated diseases, clinical symptoms, endoscopic findings, image findings, pathology, and treatment. We found 21 articles (19 case reports and 2 review articles) relevant to our search since 2005. The mean age was 58.05 years, ranging from 19 years to 86 years with a female to male ratio of 3:1 (15:5). The most frequent site of origin was the nasal septum followed by the paranasal sinuses. The most common symptom was nasal obstruction, followed by epistaxis, headache, facial pain or pressure, and anosmia in decreasing order. Computed tomography was the most common imaging technique used to evaluate sinonasal glomangiopericytoma which the most common mentioned CT finding was soft tissue density mass with enhancement. The most common treatment modality was complete surgical excision through transnasal endoscopic surgery. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(3) 2019 p.651-655

“…Considering that, adult and infantile forms of hemangiopericytoma are described in the literature 5 . Some types of hemangiopericytoma (such as glomangiopericytoma) are associated with previous trauma, hypertension, pregnancy or steroid usage but definitive etiology is still insufficiently clarified 6 . The probability of a tumor forming is greater wherever the tissue abounds in capillaries.…”

Large hemangiopericytoma of the shoulder: A case report

Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor arised from the pericytes, contractile spindle cells that surround the capillaries and post-capillary venules. The tumor was found equally among males and females. Case report: We report a case of a 63-year-old female who presented a giant painful mass on her right shoulder that occurred one year before admission. Limited range of motion and a sense of tingling along the affected arm was present also. An irregular, oval-shaped mass, colored dark-red, with signs of necrosis was the maximal diameter of 14cm. Routine laboratory analyzes showed results within the range of referenced values. Lung X-ray and ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen showed no signs of secondary tumor deposits, and no osteo-muscular lesions in the affected region. Ultrasonographic examination of the neck and right axillary region showed no signs of regional metastases. The surgical excision of the entire tumor was performed, with the associated subcutaneous tissue and a part of fascia underneath. Results of the histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma. The specimen showed no signs or elements of the neoplastic tissue on the edges of the resection lines. 3 years after the operation, there was found no signs of tumor relapses, regional or systemic metastases. Conclusion: Considering that there are no official clinical guides and protocols for hemangiopericytoma management, as well as the occurrence of cutaneous and subcutaneous hemangiopericytomas is exceptionally rare, more extensive research in this field and more described cases are need to gain a better understanding of that issue.

Glomangiopericytoma (GPC) is a rare mesenchymal tumor arising from the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. GPC was categorized as a borderline and low-malignant-potential tumor by the World Health Organization in 2005 and accounts for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. We report a case of GPC in a 74-year-old woman with a history of recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction. A reddish tumor was seen in the right nasal cavity. Enhanced computed tomography showed a mass lesion occupying the right nasal cavity. The tumor, which originated from the nasal septum in the olfactory fissure area, was resected with 5-mm mucosal margins by endoscopic sinus surgery. Histologic examination revealed a uniform proliferation of oval-to-short spindle-shaped cells beneath the epithelium. Immunohistologic analysis demonstrated the tumor cells were positive for α-smooth muscle actin, β-catenin and Vimentin, and negative for AE1/AE3, Bcl-2, CD34, CD117, Factor VIIIR Ag, S-100 protein, or STAT6. The percentage of Ki-67-positive cells was approximately 5%. Genetic analysis using next-generation sequencing revealed a missense mutation in the CTNNB1 gene (c.110C > G, p.S37C). While other CTNNB1 mutations have been described in GPC; this is the first report of this specific mutation. The mutation was confirmed using Sanger sequencing.
