Abstract
|
|
|
Hemangiopericytoma(HPC) is an uncommon vascular tumor and arises from the proliferation of special cells called pericytes. In 1995, a unique variant of HPC, containing some mature fat, has been first described by Nielsen and was termed lipomatous
hemangiopericytoma(LHPC). Clinically, LHPC appears to be indolent, with no recurrences or metastatic spreads. Histologically, LHPC is composed of a variable amount of benign lipomatous and hemangiopericytomatous components. Since the original
description, there had been only 2 reports of these tumors, and none in Korea. We report a recent case of lipomatous hemangiopericytoma of the nasal cavity treated by endoscopic excision.
