title: Thoracic epidural hemangiopericytoma. Case report.
abstract: Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that rarely affects the spinal canal. We report a case of thoracic epidural hemangiopericytoma in a 39-year-old man with symptoms of spinal cord compression studied by myelo-computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Total resection was followed by complete recovery. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed. The clinical, radiological, and histological findings of epidural spinal hemangiopericytoma are reviewed in the light of relevant literature
