“…Brain invasion is seen in some. 38 Histologically, hemangiopericytomas are rare, highly vascularized mesenchymal tumors. They develop from malignant transformation of pericytes, which are contractile spindle cells surrounding the walls of capillaries and post-capillary venules.…”

There are close to 70,000 new cases of primary central nervous system tumors diagnosed annually in the United States. Meningiomas, gliomas, nerve sheath tumors and pituitary tumors account for 85% of them. There is abundant literature on these commonly occurring tumors but data from the literature on infrequently encountered tumors such as atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, choroid plexus carcinoma, ganglioglioma, hemangiopericytoma, and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma are limited. This review provides an overview of the clinicopathologic and therapeutic aspects of these rare primary central nervous system tumors.
