Abstract

Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) originating from pericytes is a highly vascularised and a  rare mesenchimal tumor that constitutes %0.4 of all primary central nervous system tumors . These tumors share common arachnoid location with benign meningioma and mimic meningiomas in clinical and radiographic presentation. Because of the aggressive nature of the central nervous system HPs with high recurrence and distal metastasis rates the first line treatment is total resection with close follow ups postoperatively. In this report we tried to analyse the differentiation of hematoma and recurrence and evaluated the role of radiotherapy in light of the current literature.

İNTRAKRANYAL HEMANJİOPERİSİTOMA: BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Meningial hemanjioperisitoma (HP) primer merkezi sinir sistemi tümörlerinin 0,4 % ünü oluşturan nadir ve oldukça vasküler bir mezenkimal tümördür. Hemanjioperisitomalar benign meningiomlarla ortak araknoid lokasyonlari kullanırlar, klinik ve radyolojik olarak onları taklit ederler. Perisitlerden kaynaklanan bu tümörlerde total rezeksiyon ilk tedavi seçeneği olup merkezi sinir sistemi HP larının agresif biolojisi nedeni ile rekurrens ve uzak metastaz ihtimali de göz önünde bulundurularak ameliyat sonrası yakın takibi çok önem taşır. Bu yazıda HP larda postop dönemde ortaya çıkabilen komplikasyonlardan olan rekurrens ve hematomun ayırt ettirici özelliklerinin vurgulanması ve radyoterapinin yeri konusunda son literatür bilgilerinin gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
