Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma is a very rare and aggressive tumor that originates from pericytes of Zimmermann. Spinal hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm that behaves similar to intracranial hemangiopericytoma, with approximately 140 cases being reported in the literature. We report a case of recurrent hemangiopericytoma of dorsal spine in a 55-year-old women treated with surgery for 3 times, with liver metastasis. Gross total resection, if possible, is the first choice of treatment. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be indicated, especially in cases with high-grade lesions or tumors with unresectable.
