Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm that originates from small peri-capillary spindle shaped cells called pericytes. The most common sites of origin are the thigh, the pelvis and the retroperitoneum. A primary pulmonary hemangiopericytoma is particularly unusual. However, more than 50% of hemangiopericytoma cases metastasize to the lungs, the bone, and the liver. A long-term clinical and radiological follow up is recommended due to the high risk of recurrence of a potential malignancy. We report a case of a metastatic hemangiopericytoma in the lung that had initially developed in the thigh of a 53 year-old woman 6 years ago. The authors emphasize the long-term follow-up of this type of rare sarcoma.

혈관주위세포종은 혈관주위세포에 발생하는 드문 종양으로 폐나 뼈로의 전이가 가능하다. 저자들은 좌측 서혜부에서 원발하여 완치판정 5년 후에 원발 부위의 재발 없이 폐로 전이된 혈관주위세포종 1례를 경험하였기에 임상적 증상, 방사선 소견, 병리학적 소견들을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
