Magnetic resonance imaging of cardiac hemangiopericytoma.
We report a patient with hemangiopericytoma, a rare soft tissue sarcoma, involving the left ventricle. T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a high signal mass invading the left ventricular wall. A biopsied specimen obtained from the metastatic subcutaneous tumor in the right popliteal fossa showed pathologic findings consistent with hemangiopericytoma.
