title: Glomangiopericytoma of the pterygomandibular space: an unusual case.
abstract: We describe a case of glomangiopericytoma located in the pterygo-mandibular space, a rare anatomical region for this neoplasm to develop. The lesion is classified as a separate variant from the classic haemangiopericytoma, which is characterised by more aggressive biological behaviour.
