[Hemangiopericytoma of the infratemporalis fossa: apropos of two cases].
Hemangiopericytoma is a slow growing insidious potentially malignant vascular tumor that can occur anywhere in the body. Primary localization in the infratemporalis fossa, an area deep in the face, is uncommon and difficult to diagnose and treat. We present two cases of hemangiopericytoma observed in the infratemporalis fossa and recall the epidemiological and clinical features of these lesions, discussion diagnostic and therapeutic options.
