title: [Intrathoracic hemangiopericytoma localized in the mediastinum].
abstract: The paper reports a case of intrathoracic hemangiopericytoma localised in mediastinum which was brought to the authors attention and treated surgically. Having analysed the tumour's macro- and microscopic histological and biological features and the most suitable methods of diagnosis, the authors stress that, in line with international literature, radical surgery extended to the surrounding tissues is the elective surgical treatment for hemangiopericytoma in a mediastinal site.
