Hemangiopericytoma of pineal region: case report and review

Histopathology revealed characteristic features of HPC with large dilated staghorn vascular channels and foci of stromal hyalinization and cystic changes intersecting the tumor cells that have elongated vesicular nuclei arranged in sheets [Figure 1]e. Mitotic activity exceeded 5/10 hpf but no necros...

Description
Summary:Histopathology revealed characteristic features of HPC with large dilated staghorn vascular channels and foci of stromal hyalinization and cystic changes intersecting the tumor cells that have elongated vesicular nuclei arranged in sheets [Figure 1]e. Mitotic activity exceeded 5/10 hpf but no necrosis was noted. [...]hemangiopericytomas rarely arise in the posterior third ventricular region.
