“…Multiple sites of metastases were seen in 9/20 cases. Similar findings have also been described by others, in which the patients had multiple sites of metastases separated from each other in time and anatomic location [ 7 , 8 , 10 , 12 ] . Multiple metastases were also seen in our patient.…”

Metastatic recurrence of an intracranial hemangiopericytoma 8 years after treatment: report of a case with emphasis on the role of PET/CT in follow-up

Intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors that can mimic meningioma on imaging and on histopathology. However, these tumors are more aggressive with a tendency for local and metastatic recurrence, sometimes after a prolonged symptom-free interval. We report an unusual metastatic recurrence of an intracranial hemangiopericytoma, 8 years after surgery for the primary tumor and discuss the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the follow-up of these patients.

“…If the tumor has a focal necrotic area and shows increased cellularity, it is considered as malign [5]. Malign HPC constitutes <1% of all vascular tumors and 5% of all sarcomatous tumors [12]. The rate of recurrence varies between 25 and 50%.…”

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) may develop in every site where the endothelial tissue exits and primarily develops in the skeletal-muscular system or the skin. Adult cases of HPC generally exhibit a benign course. 20–30% of the cases may show a malign course. The tumors that show more than four mitoses, a focal area of necrosis, and increased cellularity on a magnification ×10 are considered as malign. In our paper, we presented our case who showed a lung metastasis at the end of 4 years and who developed a pathological fracture of the right humerus at the end of approximately 2 years, because hemangiopericytoma is rarely seen in the chest wall as a primary tumor.

“…The histological distinction between benign and malignant hemangiopericytoma may be difficult to establish. Primary pulmonary hemangiopericytomas have high local recurrence rates, but systemic metastases have also been described in the literature [3]. The criteria for malignancy are not yet well established.…”

The authors report the case of a woman with a primary hemangiopericytoma of the lung and successive metachronous diaphragmatic metastasis treated with surgery only according to the patient's decision. The patient was first submitted to left lower lobectomy with resection of diaphragm and three ribs en-bloc for pulmonary sarcoma. One year later, a chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a small lesion above the diaphragm on the left side. She refused the proposed operation and returned fifteen months later with a new thorax CT, and told us that she had in the meantime become pregnant and given birth. A rethoracotomy to remove the metastatic diaphragmatic tumor was performed. Chemotherapy with anthracycline and iphosphamide was proposed, but the patient again refused therapy for fear of side effects impairing another pregnancy. Currently, the patient is alive and disease-free, 68 months after the first treatment. The authors emphasize the long-term follow-up obtained with surgery alone in this kind of rare sarcoma.
