INTRACRANIAL HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA: A CASE REPORT İNTRAKRANYAL HEMANJİOPERİSİTOMA: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) originating from pericytes is a highly vascularised and a rare mesenchimal tumor that constitutes %0.4 of all primary central nervous system tumors . These tumors share common arachnoid location with benign meningioma and mimic meningiomas in clinical and radiographic presentation. Because of the aggressive nature of the central nervous system HPs with high recurrence and distal metastasis rates the first line treatment is total resection with close follow ups postoperatively. In this report we tried to analyse the differentiation of hematoma and recurrence and evaluated the role of radiotherapy in light of the current literature.
