ORBITAL HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA - A RARE CASE REPORT.

SIVASUBRAMANYAM SELVARAJ

Abstract


Hemangiopericytomas are tumors whose
origin is still being debated. Their occurrence
is rare and they are reported as
case reports. Their occurrence in orbit is
very few. They are malignant tumors capable
of recurrence and metastasis.
Their radiological features are identical to
meningiomas. Transcranial transorbital
approach is particularly useful in selected
cases like a tumor arising from roof of
orbit. Complete excision with wide local
clearance is necessary to prevent recurrence.
