title: Hemangiopericytoma of the chest wall.
abstract: We treated a 79-year-old woman with hemangiopericytoma of the chest wall. This is a very rare entity, with only a total of 12 cases including our case reported in Japan. There is a predominance of women (10 female patients and two male patients) and a predilection for the right side (9 in the right side and 3 in the left side).
