Hemangiopericytoma of the esophagus.
A case of hemangiopericytoma arising in the esophagus is described. The light microscopic features were typical, and ultrastructural examination confirmed the presence of pericyte-like cells and excluded smooth muscle and fibroblastic differentiation. Areas of necrosis and a focus of mitotic activity within the tumor suggested the possibility of an uncertain future course.
