Abstract

Primary hemangiopericytomas of the lung are uncommon sarcomas that arise from pericytes that surround the basement membrane of capillaries and small venules within the lung parenchyma. The presenting symptoms and signs depend on the location of the tumor and radiologic features are not diagnostic. The behavior of pulmonary hemangiopericytomas is difficult to predict and all tumors should be considered potentially malignant. Wide surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment. We report a case of primary hemangiopericytoma of the lung with a brief review of literature.
