ABSTRACT
Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumor comprising 1% of all vascular neoplasms and was first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. They are highly vascularized tumours located in any part of the body. Malignant HPCs represent <1% of all vascular tumours and around 5% of all sarcomatous tumours. The majority has a relatively indolent behaviour with presenting symptoms being vague for several months and not specific. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. We present the case of a 65-year old male with HPC of left infraclavicular region with no associated lymphadenopathy. Surgical management included en bloc excision. The patient did not require any adjuvant therapy and showed no signs of recurrence at 1-year follow up. KEY WORDS Haemangiopericytoma, Extracranial, Surgical excision, Vascular tumor.
