Hemangiopericytoma: a report of two cases arising on the lip.
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumour of pericytes; represents 1% of all vasoformative tumours and 15-25% of those which occur in the head and neck. We present two cases of hemangiopericytoma occurring on the lower lip and report the use of cryosurgery to treat the most recent case.
