Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin and arises in almost any part of the body. We experienced a 26 year-old man of primary pulmonary hemangiopericytoma with 4 months history of hemoptysis. Pulmonary hemangiopericytoma has no characteristic clinical or radiological features to distinguish it from other tumor of the lung, and because of that reason, wide surgical excision appears to be the treatment of choice. The hemangiopericytoma is usually encapsulated, and is composed of capillary pericytes histologically. The prognosis of the tumor is poor. Our case was dead 1 year after surgery because of the recurrence.
