Intraspinal hemangiopericytomas. Report of two cases and review of the literature

Abstract

A description of two cases of intraspinal hemangiopericytoma is given, which join the 30 reported to date. The clinical features of this tumor rarely found in the CNS are compared with those of the same oncotype found at other sites. Surgical treatment is necessary, accompanied by radiotherapy. Spinal tumor embolization preoperatively is of benefit.
