Abstract

A case of Hemangiopericytoma at the thigh is reported. The Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumour made with pericyties. This neoplasia is usually benign and it is located in the soft tissues. Tumour is profusely irrigated. The most common locations of the Hemangiopericytoma are the lower limbs and the abdominal cavity. The Hemangiopericytoma is difficult to be recognized by histological criteria. The high number of relapses and metastasis involve to an extent surgical ablation of the tumour and its borders. Present literature is reviewed and the different diagnostic and therapeutic options are discussed.
