[A case of primary pulmonary hemangiopericytoma recurred locally 10 years after the first surgery].
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor of vascular origin. This tumor has a malignant potential and often recurs or metastasize. A case of primary pulmonary hemangiopericytoma which recurred locally 10 years after the first surgery is presented. The histological appearance of the tumor had some findings of malignant potential in both of the primary and recurrent lesions. We discussed on malignant potential of this tumor in the number of mitotic figures, cellular atipia, and DNA ploidy pattern.
