“… 16 It is typically a low-grade benign sarcoma, accounting for less than 2% of soft-tissue sarcomas and 1% of all vascular tumours; 16 it is supposed to originate from perivascular pluripotent mesenchymal cells. 17 Hemangiopericytoma is more frequent in the fifth and sixth decade, in both sexes, and it could be found most commonly in the soft tissues of the upper and lower extremities, pelvis and retroperitoneal space. 17 It generally presents as a painless mass, covered by normal skin.…”

“…Hemangiopericytoma has an unpredictable behaviour, because of its malignant potential and its high recurrence rate; some cases of hemangiopericytoma behaving as high-grade sarcomas are reported. 17 Radical surgical excision is the treatment of choice, while adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy have shown limited success in patients with this malignancy. 17 …”

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a rare benign vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, characterized by a reactive proliferation of endothelial cells that can present de novo in normal blood vessels (primary intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia), but it can also develop from a pre-existing vascular process (type II intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia), or it can arise in an extravascular location from a post-traumatic haematoma. The differential diagnosis between intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia and malignant vascular tumours can be challenging, due to the lacking of a specific radiologic description. We present a case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the hand radiologically mimicking a hemangiopericytoma.

Sinonasal hemangiopericytoma, also known as glomangiopericytoma (GPC) is a benign perivascular tumor of low malignant potential, with an incidence rate of 0.5-1% of all sinonasal tumors. It often shows local recurrences with invasion to the surrounding bony tissues. It usually arises from the perivascular cells surrounding the capillaries. Etiology of the tumour is uncertain, with few postulated hypothesis like pregnancy, trauma, hypertension and corticosteroid drugs. They have an indolent course and tend to occur most commonly in the adults of seventh decade of life. We present a case report of 55 years old male presenting to the ENT OPD, with complaints of right sided nasal obstruction and repeated episodes of epistaxis since the last 9 months. History and general examination was unremarkable except for antihypertensive intake since the last few years. Laboratory investigations showed microcytic hypochromic anaemia, raised absolute eosinophil count of 1500 cells per microliter and positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood. Rhinoscopic examination showed a reddish brown nodular swelling in the right nasal cavity beneath the middle turbinate and hypertrophy of left nasal mucosa. CT imaging suggested an 18x15 mms, well defined soft tissue mass in the right nasal cavity. Complete resection of the mass with endoscopic surgery was performed. Histopathological examination coupled with immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of Sinonasal Hemangiopericytoma. This case report stresses upon various differential diagnosis of sinonasal swellings and the importance of considering long term follow up of Sinonasal Hemagiopericytoma.
