Hemangiopericytoma of meningo-fronto-naso-orbito-maxillary complex.

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumour and difficult to diagnose clinically. Incidence is reported in fourth to fifth decade of life.With female predominance, 3%-5% cases affect the oral cavity, sinus lining and meninges. The patient presented with 8×6 cm swelling on her face, evaluation reported it to be HPC. Bilateral maxillary artery embolisation, wide local excision of the lesion, preserving the left eye and its function, was done. No recurrence is reported at 1-year follow-up. Response of such lesions to radiotherapy is questionable; with no lymphadenopathy and adequate encapsulation, embolisation of feeder vessel followed by a wide local excision of the lesion seems to be a fairly good option of treatment.
