A Case of Spontaneously Healed Infantile Hemangiopericytoma

Abstract

Infantile hemangiopericytoma deserves separate consideration from adult form of hemangiopericytoma in that it has a benign clinical behavior and distinct histology. We herein report a case of infantile hemangiopericytoma in a 80-day-old male. He had multiple tender subcutaneous nodules on buttock and lower extremities which disappeared spontaneously in 10 months. Microscopically, well circumscribed multiple tumor nodules were seen in the dermis and subcutis and the nodules were consisted of haphazardly packed cells around endothelium-lined vascular slits. Infantile hemangiopericytoma is usually soliitary and spontaneously healed case has not been reported yet.
