Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor originating from pericytes of the small vessels. The most common sites of origin are the thigh and the retroperitoneum. The lung is a very uncommon site despite its high vascularity. We report a case of primary malignant hemangiopericytoma in the lung which developed in a 38 year-old woman, with brief review of literatures.
