| Popis: | Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor arised from the pericytes, contractile spindle cells that surround the capillaries and post-capillary venules. The tumor was found equally among males and females. Case report: We report a case of a 63-year-old female who presented a giant painful mass on her right shoulder that occurred one year before admission. Limited range of motion and a sense of tingling along the affected arm was present also. An irregular, oval-shaped mass, colored dark-red, with signs of necrosis was the maximal diameter of 14cm. Routine laboratory analyzes showed results within the range of referenced values. Lung X-ray and ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen showed no signs of secondary tumor deposits, and no osteo-muscular lesions in the affected region. Ultrasonographic examination of the neck and right axillary region showed no signs of regional metastases. The surgical excision of the entire tumor was performed, with the associated subcutaneous tissue and a part of fascia underneath. Results of the histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma. The specimen showed no signs or elements of the neoplastic tissue on the edges of the resection lines. 3 years after the operation, there was found no signs of tumor relapses, regional or systemic metastases. Conclusion: Considering that there are no official clinical guides and protocols for hemangiopericytoma management, as well as the occurrence of cutaneous and subcutaneous hemangiopericytomas is exceptionally rare, more extensive research in this field and more described cases are need to gain a better understanding of that issue. |
