We report a case of a hemangiopericytoma in a 45-year-old man that had an unusual presentation, as a rapidly growing mass in the anterior right inferior orbit. Given that there are no clinical or radiolog...
متن کاملPrimary orbital hemangiopericytoma: an unusual cause of unilateral proptosis.
numerous orbital neoplastic and non neoplastic processes. Various mesenchymal tumours of both fibrohistiocytic and vascular origin are well-described causes. Hemangiopericytomas (HPC) are rare vascular tumours which can infrequently involve the orbit and their incidence is estimated to be 0.8% to 3% of primary orbital tumours1,2. We herein report a new case of orbital HPC revealed by unilateral...
