ABSTRACT
We present a case of hemangiopericytoma arising in the superior mediastinum. A 48-year-old man demonstrated a superior mediastinal mass lesion on chest x-ray and was admitted to our hospital. A CT scan of the chest showed a well-circumscribed, heterogenously-enhanced mass, 7.0 x 6.5 x 6.5 cm in size, located in the right superior posterior mediastinum, compressing the trachea. The tumor was extirpated by surgical resection. Based on the histological findings, electron microscopic findings, and immunohistochemical studies, the tumor was diagnosed as hemangiopericytoma.
