Hemangiopericytoma: a clinicopathologic, angiographic and microangiographic study. 1978

L Angervall, and L G Kindblom, and J M Nielsen, and B Stener, and P Svendsen

A clinicopathologic study of 11 hemangiopericytomas is reported, and the results of clinical angiography in 4 patients and a correlated microangiographic-histologic study of 1 tumor are presented. Six of the tumors were collected and accepted as hemangiopericytomas in a review of 42 tumors registered as hemangiopericytoma in the Swedish Cancer Registry during the period 1958--1968. The other 5 tumors occurred in patients treated by us. The histologic examination and the follow-up information showed that it can be difficult to predict the prognosis on morphologic grounds, that borderline tumors exist and that a recurrence as well as a metastasis may dedifferentiate. The tumors studied by clinical angiography all proved to be highly vascular. Irregular vessels of varying caliber were filled with contrast medium and, in addition, a prominent diffuse opacification took place. Early filling of veins was not noted despite the high vascularity. The correlated microangiographic-histologic study suggests that the irregular vessels seen on clinical angiograms corresponded to wide, angulated, thin-walled vessels without muscle coat or elastic tissue, while the diffuse opacification was caused by a dense network of delicate, branching, slit-like capillary spaces.

D006393 Hemangiopericytoma A tumor composed of spindle cells with a rich vascular network, which apparently arises from pericytes, cells of smooth muscle origin that lie around small vessels. Benign and malignant hemangiopericytomas exist, and the rarity of these lesions has led to considerable confusion in distinguishing between benign and malignant variants.
