Abstract
Endoscopic Resection of a Giant Sinonasal Haemangiopericytoma with Preoperative Embolization and Cyanoacrylate Glue Injections: A Case Report and Literature Review
Highlights
Even though vascular tumors are the most common mesenchymal malignancies of the head and neck soft region, haemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are extremely rare and occur in only 1% of cases [1]
In about 25% of cases they develop in the head and neck soft tissues [3] and in more than 50% of cases they involve the sinonasal region, especially the sphenoid sinus and ethmoidal labyrinth [4]
We present the case of a giant SNTHPC endoscopically removed with prior embolization and intralesional injections of cyanoacrylate glue
Summary
Hemangiopericytomas (HPC) are rare mesenchymal tumors, which arise from the degeneration of Zimmerman’s pericytes. They develop in the head and neck soft tissues in about 25% of cases and, in more than 50% of cases they involve the sinonasal region, especially the sphenoid sinus and ethmoidal labyrinth
