Excerpt

Intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) tumors are rare, accounting for only 0.2 % of all primary brain tumors, and are found mostly in middle-aged adults. The tumor usually occurs in contact with the dura or the dural arteriovenous structures of a cerebral hemisphere, [1, 2] and is generally best treated by microsurgical excision. The local recurrence rate is relatively high and extracranial metastases have been reported [3]. We report a case of HPC metastasizing to the thoracic spine 17 years after the intracranial lesion was surgically excised. The patient was informed that data, radiographs, and photographs from the case would be submitted for publication and gave his written consent. …
