title: Malignant hemangiopericytoma of the pelvis. Report of a case with urological implications and immunohistochemical analysis.
abstract: A case of a malignant hemangiopericytoma located in the pelvic fossa of a 50-year old man is reported. The tumor displaced the urinary bladder and caused bilateral hydronephrosis. Light microscopic diagnosis was followed by immunohistochemistry. After surgery the patient was successfully treated by chemotherapy and irradiation. This paper reviews clinicopathological features in respect of prognosis and a possible treatment.
