Abstract

Hemangiopericytomas, which used to be classified as the subtype of the meningiomas, like the angioblastic meningiomas or hemangiopericytic meningiomas, are rare in the central nervous system with an incidence of <1% of all central nervous system(CNS) tumors. In spite of a total surgical removal, hemangiopericytomas have a tendency of high local recurrence and distant metastasis. The authors report a case of hemaniogipericytoma recurred at the remote area from the primary site. The tumor recurred in the meninges of right temporal area after total removal of the tumor in the right parasaggital region including the falx.
