Malignant myopericytoma is an exceedingly rare soft tissue tumour with only 14 documented cases in the scientific literature. Myopericytomas can occur in association with HIV-AIDS and have a predilection for internal organs such as the bronchus, larynx, liver and brain. Ebstein-Barr virus encoded small RNA(EBER) was positive in three out of 14 cases. In this case report we present the second documented case of a malignant myopericytoma, with a positive EBER found intracranially - specifically in the supratentorial compartment - invading the superior sagittal sinus. Gross total excision of the tumour was achieved, and the patient responded well with no recurrence with only highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). No chemotherapy or radiotherapy has been necessary. |
