[A case of renal hemangiopericytoma].
A 27-year-old female was referred with an abdominal mass. Examination revealed a non tender firm mass in the right flank and hypertension (200/100 mmHg). An angiomyolipoma was suspected on computed tomography and arteriography and a radical nephrectomy was performed. On cut section, the kidney was occupied by a well-capsulated, grayish tumor measuring 10 x 9 cm. Pathological diagnosis was a renal hemangiopericytoma without involvement of the capsule. Her blood pressure has normalized after the operation. She has no evidence of recurrence after 18 months' follow-up.
