[Nasal fossae hemangiopericytoma revealed by acute dacryocystitis].
We report a 42-year-old woman with a hemangiopericytoma tumor located in nasal fossae, revealed by acute dacryocystitis. Clinical rhinoscopic examination and orbitofacial tomodensitometry showed tumefaction of the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct. We removed the tumor by endonasal surgery. The anatomopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma. The internal canthus area and the maxillary sinus roof were treated with complementary irradiation.
