Objectives To present a case report of sinonasal glomangiopericytoma (GPC) in a female patient in her thirties and to highlight the importance of collecting pathology specimens even in routine sinus surgery cases. Methods A case report detailing the diagnosis of GPC in a female in her thirties, including her initial presentation, treatment, and follow-up, along with a brief review of the literature. Results Pathology of the collected specimen revealed sinonasal GPC along with chronic rhinosinusitis. Immunohistochemistry was positive for SMA, beta-catenin, and cyclin D1; and negative for STAT6, ERG, pankeratin, SOX10, and S100. Conclusion This diagnosis expands the knowledge around the demographic profile of GPC patients. GPC should be included in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses, even in younger patients. The case highlights the importance of collecting the entire pathology specimen in all cases, even of ones that seem routine and benign.

Introduction: Sinonasal glomangiopericytoma (GPC) is an uncommon neoplasm, accounting for less than 0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. It is characterized as having low malignant potential, with complete surgical excision representing optimal treatment. Presenting symptoms are typically due to mass effect and vascularity of this tumor, often including unilateral nasal obstruction or epistaxis. Accounts of this tumor in the literature remain sparse. Methods: Single institution retrospective review. Results: Six cases of sinonasal GPC were identified from a review of the electronic medical records spanning from 2009 through 2021. Age at diagnosis ranged from 48 to 67 years, with a gender distribution of 5 males and 1 female. Most subjects presented with unilateral sinonasal obstruction of variable duration. Each underwent endoscopic resection of the mass with negative margins, and no adjuvant therapy was pursued. Pathologic specimens demonstrated a vascular patterned tumor with spindled cells surrounding vessels and were positive for smooth muscle actin and negative for cytokeratin. Active post-surgical follow-up ranged from 11 months to 10 years. All patients were without endoscopic evidence of recurrence, and 2 had post-operative imaging which showed no evidence of disease. Conclusions: This review of 6 cases of sinonasal GPC represents the largest known series of this rare pathology in the literature to date. Based on our experience, and in agreement with the available literature, this disease is reliably managed with complete surgical excision. Adjuvant therapy can be avoided in otherwise uncomplicated cases. Although rare, GPC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all vascular sinonasal tumors.
